Abstract:		 Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of c. 101ha of land to the East of the A38 and North of the A419, Whitminster, Stroud, Gloucestershire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. Extensive archaeological activity has been identified across much of the survey area, with several probable enclosures of uncertain date. Most of these enclosures are isolated from each other and have differing morphologies, and therefore it is unclear how or if they relate. Several other anomalies of possible archaeological origin are present but are largely weaker and fragmented, which has limited a definitive interpretation. Two separate, isolated anomalies potentially relating to a kiln or concentrated burning activity have also been detected, these are of undetermined date and origin. Agricultural activity has been identified throughout the site as former field boundaries, infilled ponds, in addition to extensive ridge and furrow cultivation, which is also visible as extant earthworks across much of the survey area. Anomalies of undetermined origin have been detected across the survey area, including a spread of material in the east which could be related to the construction of the M5 motorway or with extraction activity. The magnetic haloes relating to the multiple modern services crossing the survey area may have masked weaker anomalies in their vicinity.
