Abstract:		 Detailed magnetometry was undertaken by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over a 5ha land parcel on the north western edge of Malmesbury ahead of a proposed residential development. The results indicate the presence of a broad, curving anomaly in the north western part of the site that could relate to former fluvial feature and/or possible quarrying. The site also contains a number of pit-like responses, which although can relate to naturally formed features or agricultural activity, do appear in several clusters and an anthropogenic origin is possible. Two discrete responses are moderately strong which may be indicative of burning. Elsewhere, positive linear anomalies lack a coherent morphology, and one broad, fragmented linear response could relate to agricultural activity or a possible junction in the underlying geology, but it cannot be confidently interpreted.
