Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd undertook a geophysical (magnetometer) survey of a 5 hectare site on land south of Lower Stondon, to inform planning proposals for a new residential development. No anomalies of clear archaeological potential have been identified. The survey has detected several dipolar anomalies consistent with modern activity including a twentieth century farm track and adjacent small structure, two buried service pipes and extant telegraph poles. Two small and localised areas of high magnitude anomalies have been identified which may be due to archaeological activity such as pits and spreads of enhanced material but, in the absence of any coherent archaeological pattern, these are assessed as of low archaeological potential. Elsewhere, on the basis of the geophysical survey, the site is assessed as having very low archaeological potential, corroborating the results of the Archaeological and Heritage Assessment (EDP forthcoming).
