Abstract:		 The site grid was laid out using a Trimble VRS differential Global Positioning System (Trimble R6 model). The survey was undertaken using Bartington Grad601 magnetic gradiometers. These were employed taking readings at 0.25m intervals on zig-zag traverses 1.0m apart within 30m by 30m grids, so that 3600 readings were recorded in each grid. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and later downloaded to computer for processing and interpretation. Bespoke in-house software was used to process and present the data. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey was undertaken on approximately 5.15 hectares of land of which 4.15ha were surveyable, located to the south of Balsall Street East, Balsall Common, Solihull, West Midlands. The survey has detected an area of magnetic disturbance that corresponds to the foundations of a former WWII building. Other magnetic disturbance within the Site can be assigned to metal fencing and boundaries within the modern field systems. Overall, the archaeological potential of the Site is deemed to be low.
