Abstract:		 A detailed magnetometer survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd, at the request of Neo Environmental Ltd, ahead of a development of a solar farm at Molehill near Herne Bay in Kent. The London Clay geology is often associated with poor magnetic contrast between cut features and the material into which they are cut and a trial survey was initially carried out to see if any geophysical anomalies could be located. The initial data revealed magnetic debris and land drains; however, several weakly positive linear anomalies were also located and the survey was continued across the remainder of the development area. The survey was conducted using a hand-pushed, cart-based system of 5 sensors spaced 0.5m apart. Although the general magnetic response was weak, the results reveal a number of positive linear, curvilinear and discrete anomalies. Two groups of these anomalies are evident in the southern part of the site, with a further group close to the north eastern edge. It is possible that these anomalies relate to cut features, such as ditches and pits and although they are weak and fragmented, an archaeological origin should be considered. The site contains several weakly positive linear and discrete anomalies; however, the majority of these lack a coherent morphology and their origin cannot be determined. Responses to a number of recently removed field boundaries, land drains and natural features are also evident within the results.
