Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering 26 hectares, on land south of Gloucester Road, Thornbury, to inform future archaeological strategy prior to the proposed development of the site. The survey has identified former field boundaries and ridge and furrow cultivation throughout the east of the site, confirming and enhancing the cropmark data and reflecting the former agricultural landscape as depicted on early Ordnance Survey mapping. These anomalies may be of local historical interest but are of no archaeological significance. Within the west of the site a cluster of linear anomalies have been identified within an elevated magnetic background. The anomalies are oblique to the existing and historical pattern of land division and an archaeological origin cannot be dismissed. Whilst no clear pattern is discernible, the anomalies may be due to soil-filled ditches, perhaps forming part of a system of enclosure and land division. A broad area of magnetic disturbance in the north-east is interpreted as being caused by modern infilling around a diverted watercourse. On the basis of the geophysical survey, the archaeological potential across the majority of the site as assessed as being very low with a low to moderate archaeological potential in the vicinity of the cluster of linear anomalies in the west.
