Abstract:		 The field reconnaissance survey consisted of a visual inspection of all new areas which were not encountered by the proposed pipeline route at the desk based stage of assessment, in order to record extant earthworks, significant soil or vegetative anomalies, the nature of land boundaries, present (and former) land use, visible geology, and general topographical variations. Observations were recorded on pro-forma record sheets. Fieldwalking was carried out by a team of three to four archaeologists walking at 10m spacings within each arable field. Five traverses were walked, centred on the centreline of the proposed pipeline’s working width. This gave a 40m wide survey area, and provided approximately 25% coverage of the ground within this area. Details of each field or land parcel walked (including weather/light conditions, crop type, ground visibility, relief, walkers present) were recorded on pro-forma record sheets. The surveys found D or E grade areas of archaeological potential in twenty-seven of the plots crossed by the proposed route. Most of the D and E grade areas comprise magnetic anomalies of uncertain character, including some pit like and linear features. Some of the anomalies are of likely archaeological significance, whilst others are of uncertain archaeological significance. Some low density scatters of brick and tile, tap slag, and a single sherd of Iron Age pottery may be archaeologically significant. Earthworks representing ponds / quarry pits and former field boundaries were also present. At this stage, the D and E grade sites are felt to have a low archaeological potential, but they are nevertheless significant and should not be dismissed.
