Abstract:		 Detailed magnetometry was carried out over 59ha ahead of a proposed solar farm development at Milton End near Arlingham in Gloucestershire. The results of the survey indicate the presence of a small number of positive linear, rectilinear and discrete anomalies in the northern part of the site that could relate to features with archaeological potential. To the east of these is a zone containing numerous pits and two areas of weakly magnetic debris; however, it is not possible to determine if these have an anthropogenic origin, or if they have an association with the underlying gravels. Elsewhere, the majority of the survey areas contain positive anomalies, but these are generally weak and lack a coherent morphology for them them to be characterised as relating to cut features. Areas 9 and 14 contain linear, rectilinear and curvilinear anomalies that could relate to cut features, but again, these are generally poorly defined. The majority of the survey areas contain ridge and furrow, former land boundaries and many contain land drains. Within Area 3 in the far south western part of the site, magnetically variable responses could relate to a former palaeochannel. The geophysical survey located only a small number of positive linear, discrete and rectilinear anomalies that could be considered of archaeological potential. Magnetic debris could indicate spreads of occupation material, however it is possible that they are associated with the underlying gravels.
