Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering 5 hectares of agricultural land to the west of Old Malton to provide information about the archaeological potential of land proposed for residential development. No anomalies of definite archaeological potential have been identified by the survey although anomalies have been identified at the western survey boundary which may indicate the continuation of an enclosure which was identified by a previous geophysical survey in the adjacent field. In particular, a rectangular anomaly may be of interest, perhaps being due to a structure. However, the anomaly may also be caused by localised extraction, evidence for which is recorded within the current survey data and within the wider landscape. Linear anomalies (soil-filled ditches) have been detected which appear to reflect the agricultural landscape predating the nineteenth century. In addition, anomalies due to ridge and furrow cultivation have been identified throughout the survey area. There is no indication from any other source to suggest that the magnetic data provides anything other than an accurate representation of the sub-surface conditions within the survey area. Therefore, based on the results and interpretation of the data, the archaeological potential across most of the site is considered to be low, with a moderate potential at the western site boundary.
