Abstract:		 Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 3.2ha within an area of large lynchets and close to a Roman building and Iron Age occupation. The survey was conducted within a field known as Hole Ground at Wookey Hole, Somerset, which lies to the east of the Wookey Hole ravine. Archaeological excavations in the north western part of the site during the 1950s uncovered a series of Iron Age and Roman structures just below the ground surface. The site also contains a series of earthworks relating to lynchets. The survey responded to the lynchets as a series of positive and negative anomalies relating to increased depth of topsoil and rock cut terraces. A number of similar responses were evident towards the north eastern corner of the site, but it is possible that these relate to holloways. A number of linear and discrete anomalies were located within the north western corner of the survey area, but none could be easily identified as archaeological features. While it is possible that they are associated with the Iron Age or Roman structures it is also possible that the relate to the disturbed and backfilled remains of the excavations. Evidence for infilled quarrying and ground make up were also located within the eastern part of the site.
