Abstract:		 Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey, covering approximately 61 hectares on land adjacent to Dunstall Farm, Staffordshire, to provide baseline information on the archaeological potential of the site prior to the determination of a planning application for a proposed residential development. Many of the anomalies can be confidently interpreted as being associated with post-medieval and modern agricultural activity, specifically the rationalisation and formalisation of fields and the attempts to improve drainage and the effects of flooding. This supports the conclusions of a desk-based assessment (forthcoming). Linear anomalies locating former boundaries and various pipes and drains and by ridge and furrow and more recent cultivation have been identified. Areas of magnetic disturbance are also likely to have a relatively modern origin and may also be due to ground disturbance associated with improving drainage. A former pond is also located as an area of disturbed responses. Variations in the composition and depth of the superficial deposits of till and alluvium account for the broad amorphous anomalies and the generally variable magnetic background recorded across the site. No anomalies of obvious archaeological potential have been identified. Therefore, based solely on the results of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site is assessed as low.
