Abstract:		 Phase Site Investigations Ltd was commissioned to carry out a magnetic gradient survey at a site at Millom Castle and Holy Trinity Church, Millom, Cumbria. The aim of the survey was to help establish the presence / absence, extent, character, relationships and date (as far as circumstances and the inherent limitations of the technique permits) of archaeological features within the survey area. The survey was undertaken using a Phase Site Investigations Ltd multi-sensor array cart system (MACS). The MACS comprised 8 Foerster 4.032 Ferex CON 650 gradiometers with a control unit and data logger. The MACS data was collected on profiles spaced 0.5 m apart with readings taken at between 0.1 and 0.15 m intervals. The majority of the anomalies identified by this survey are thought to relate to agricultural practice / features (including possible ridge and furrow), modern material / objects or natural features / variations. There are a number of anomalies of uncertain origin. Some of these could be related to archaeological features but this interpretation is not clear and it is possible that some, or all of them, could be related to agricultural / other modern features / activity or natural variations. Part of the site is dominated by a broad, diffuse area of positive and negative responses, which contains numerous irregular, curving positive responses. These responses are all thought to relate to natural features / variations associated with glaciofluvial / glacial sand and gravels. There may be paleochannels within this area but the routes of any former channels are not clear. Other areas are dominated by magnetic disturbance, associated with concentrations of modern material. It should be noted that the strength of the responses within the area of natural features / variations and the areas of magnetic disturbance are such that they could mask anomalies from other sub-surface features in those areas, should any such features be present.
