Abstract:		 A detailed gradiometer survey was conducted over land on Tower Hill Farm, near Tytherington, South Gloucestershire. The project was commissioned by AEE Renewables Plc. with the aim of establishing the presence, or otherwise, and nature of detectable archaeological features on the site ahead of a proposed development. The site comprises of six pasture fields directly north and west off New Road and Cuttsheath Road, some 1.0 km to the north of the centre of Tytherington and 2.4 km south-east of Thornbury. The Site straddles a small valley towards the north of the Site, with the field boundary separating fields 3, 4 and 6 running along the centre of the valley which is orientated east-west. The gradiometer survey covered 24.1ha and has demonstrated the presence of anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest within the survey area, along with regions of magnetic disturbance and ferrous response. A low concentration of archaeological features were identified across the site with several isolated pits, ditch sections and possible quarry pits accounting for the majority of the potential archaeological features. In addition to these archaeological features numerous agricultural features were detected including drains, ploughing scars and former field boundaries. A modern service was identified in the survey area near to the western boundary of the Site; it appears to be a ferrous pipe. It is considered likely to be a water service for a trough. Extensive magnetic disturbance associated with agricultural processes and numerous small-scale ferrous responses were seen throughout the dataset, particularly around the field boundaries.
