Abstract:		 A geophysical survey was carried out using detailed magnetometry over 26ha with two small areas of targeted GPR over a prehistoric settlement site at Washmore Hill in West Berkshire. The results show a number of D-shaped, pit-filled enclosures in the southern part of the site, surrounded by an irregularly shaped enclosure, and situated on a ridge of land between two shallow dry combes and also between two long linear boundaries associated with a regularly spaced field system. To the north is the banjo enclosure and this also appears to be contained within the former field system. A square enclosure to the east was targeted with ground penetrating radar (GPR) which confirmed the ditch but also possibly some responses within the centre of the enclosure, although it is not clear if they relate to archaeological features or to the underlying geology. A rectilinear ditch within the main settlement site was also targeted with GPR, but the responses were generally weak and indistinct.
