Abstract:		 Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 6ha area of land to the South of Woodrow Road, Melksham, Wiltshire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The survey has primarily detected anomalies relating to historic agricultural activity, characterised by ploughing trends, drainage features and a former field boundary. Possible archaeological activity has been identified in the form of linear ditches, which could indicate earlier agricultural activity. Further linear, curvilinear and discrete anomalies were identified within the survey area; these could relate to agricultural use of the landscape, however, their origin is not clear in the magnetic data, therefore these anomalies have been classified as 'undetermined'. An area of extraction that is recorded on the historic mapping has also been identified. Anomalies of modern origin such as buried services, pylons and magnetic disturbance from associated overhead cables have also been detected.
