Abstract:		 A geophysical survey was carried out by Archaeological Surveys Ltd over a small area of land at Berkeley Farm, Wroughton that has been outlined for a proposed solar array. As a previous magnetometry survey did not locate clearly defined anomalies within an adjacent site where excavation located Iron Age and Roman occupation, both earth resistance and magnetometry surveys were carried out. The results revealed responses by both techniques to the extant ridge and furrow. The magnetometry results revealed a line of pit-like features, but it is not clear if they are of anthropogenic or natural origin. Weakly positive magnetic linear anomalies were very poorly defined and did not correspond to any responses located by resistivity. A number of low resistance anomalies may relate to former cut features, some appear to cut through the ridge and furrow and are, therefore, later features, possibly associated with land drainage. Despite the significantly lower resolution of the resistivity data compared to the magnetometry, the technique appears to provide more clearly contrasting anomalies across the site.
