Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 183 hectare site at Prince William of Gloucester Barracks, Grantham, to provide information on the archaeological potential of the site in advance of a possible planning application for a residential and mixed-use development. This report presents the results of the survey undertaken to date, an area of approximately 54 hectares, in those areas not planted with trees. The survey has identified anomalies which locate a ditch feature which flanks the northern side of Salters Way, a Roman road which passes north-east/south-west through the site. These anomalies confirm data held by the Lincolnshire Historic Environment Record and LiDAR data and are assessed as of high archaeological potential. Numerous anomalies have been identified which are caused by 20th century military activity associated with the former RAF Spitalgate including two probable former runways and other infrastructure including buried service pipes and cables. These features may be of historical interest. Five localised areas containing anomalies of uncertain origin have also been identified. Whilst any of these may be of archaeological interest, a confident interpretation cannot be given and each is considered equally likely to have a modern or geological origin. These anomalies are currently assessed as of low archaeological potential although the whole data set from this phase of the survey will be re-evaluated and the interpretations re-assessed once the trees from the site have been cleared and the remainder of the site surveyed.
