Abstract:		 Magnetometer survey carried out over c. 12.6ha using quad-towed and hand-carried GNSS-positioned bespoke fluxgate gradiometer system. Magnitude Surveys were commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of c. 12.6ha of land at Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was carried out across the entire survey area and identified anomalies of an archaeological, agricultural, modern and undetermined origin. Modern interference is limited to the boundaries of the survey area and is caused by metal fencing. Archaeological activity has been identified in the form of probable trackways, a possible extension of a Roman causeway and additional linear cut features possibly indicative of former field systems. Historical agricultural activity has been identified in the form of ridge and furrow cultivation and modern agricultural activity has been identified in the form of drainage systems. A feature of a modern origin has been also identified, correlating with service covers visible on satellite imagery. Anomalies of an undetermined origin have been identified in the survey area that do not correspond to any features visible in historical OS maps or satellite images. Whilst they are likely to be agricultural or modern in origin, an archaeological origin cannot be excluded.
