Abstract:		 Caesium magnetometer (over 30 ha) and Ground Penetrating Radar (16 ha) surveys were conducted at Manor Field, Uffington, Shropshire, to address a casework request received from the Historic England Planning Team, Midlands Regions Group to assess the condition, extent and depth of survival of the ditches and other activity associated with a large Roman temporary (or "marching") camp known from aerial photography and previous excavation during the construction of the A49 road. Caesium magnetometer and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) surveys were conducted at Manor Field, Uffington, Shropshire, to address a casework request received from the Historic England Planning Team, Midlands Regions Group to assess the condition, extent and depth of survival of the ditches and other activity associated with a large Roman camp known from aerial photography and previous excavation during the construction of the A49 road. Vehicle-towed caesium magnetometer survey (30.0ha) revealed anomalies associated with the Roman camp ditches, including discontinuities in the response that may represent offset entrances to both the north and south of the site. Limited occupation evidence was identified within the camp beyond some occasional groups of pits and possible thermoremanent anomalies. A possible ditched enclosure of polygonal shape and uncertain date was also identified immediately beyond the Roman camp to the north. The GPR coverage (16.0ha) corroborated the response to the camp ditches, although the data was partially obscured by the presence of linear anomalies on a similar alignment, possibly due to later agriculture, found across the survey area. Both techniques identified wide networks of land drainage together with a previously known pond and removed field boundaries that, in places, hampered the interpretation of more subtle anomalies of archaeological origin.
