Abstract:		 Magnetometer survey was undertaken with 3 Bartington Grad601 units on a Bartington non-magnetic cart, at 1 metre separation. A total of 12.21 hectares were surveyed and the results of the survey have identified the following. The gradiometer survey has not identified any anomalies or features of a definitive archaeological nature. In the south of the Site a number of linear trends were identified which are likely to be archaeological in origin. However, without the support of LiDAR, aerial photographic evidence or HER data, they cannot be definitively confirmed as being archaeological in nature although it is highly likely. A series of linear trends have been detected which form a series of rectilinear enclosures aligned north-south / east-west in the south of the Site. Additional linear zones of enhanced magnetism have been noted which may indicate a possible associated trackway. Given the form of the anomalies and the known archaeology of the wider area it is possible they could relate to a Roman settlement. Very ephemeral curving trends are discernible in the area of the postulated enclosures. If these are archaeological in nature, they may suggest a multiphase settlement. In the northeast of the Site two large well-defined areas of enhanced magnetism, some 4m to 5m in diameter, have been detected. The origin of these is unclear, particularly as there are no associated anomalies. The responses are not strong enough to be indicative of kiln type features. They may indicate infilled extraction pits. However, they may have a natural or modern origin. The survey has detected a known former field boundary which crosses the centre of the Site. Modern agricultural ploughing trends have also been identified. A modern service has been detected which runs predominately to the west of the development area but does cross the Site in the north and the southwest. Several areas of magnetic disturbance of a likely modern date were also detected.
