Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 123 hectares, on land at Giffords Farm, St Ives, to provide further information on the archaeological potential of the site prior to the possible submission of a planning application to develop the site. The survey has clearly identified a complex of ditches and enclosures at the southern end of the site which confirms and enhances the cropmark data. It is unclear whether deeper soils at the extreme southern end of the site may potentially be masking the response from further archaeological features. The scale of the complex, allied with numerous discrete anomalies, is suggestive of settlement and possibly industrial activity. The morphology of the anomalies suggests likely multi-period activity. The archaeological potential of the area of the settlement complex is clearly very high and it has already been assessed as of likely regional importance. In addition anomalies indicative of archaeological activity have been identified at two other locations across the site, including centred around Gifford's Farm. The archaeological potential in these two locations is also assessed as high. Nevertheless there are substantial parts of the site where no anomalies of archaeological potential have been identified and here the potential is assessed as low.
