Abstract:		 A detailed magnetometry survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd at Lower Moor Farm Nature Reserve near Oaksey, Wiltshire, at the request of the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust ahead of a proposed new wetland scheme. The results indicate the presence of a number of weakly positive linear anomalies which appear to relate to ditch-like features, several of which can be seen as extant land drainage features within the site and surrounding fields. These land drainage features do, however, pre-date the existing field boundary layout. A series of east to west oriented linear anomalies relate to former agricultural activity that appears to have truncated the earlier linear anomalies. Although several of the anomalies appear to relate to former land drainage, others could relate to agricultural activity or possibly to naturally formed features. LiDAR imagery indicates that the western side of the site contains a long linear depression that extends further to the north and south, and may be associated with former land drainage measures. It is possible that this is also associated with a former natural drainage channel that may have been re-worked through anthropogenic activity.
