Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Special Projects Western Ltd and Primegate Properties (Blunsdon) Ltd to undertake geophysical survey of land at Kingsdown, to the north-east of Swindon. The survey was undertaken as part of a staged archaeological evaluation of the Site designed to inform a proposed Environmental Impact Statement to be submitted in support of an outline planning application for development of the Site. The proposed survey area comprised some 10ha. A total of 7.5ha was suitable for detailed gradiometer survey, with the remainder being unavailable through dense vegetation, electric fencing and modern buildings. Several linear anomalies of probable and possible archaeological interest have been identified, and are likely to represent former field boundaries. A number of clusters of what may be pits are distributed throughout the western portion of the proposed development area, although these lack definition due to a strong magnetic background. Numerous linear trends and isolated anomalies may be the result of former ploughing strategies and field divisions.
