Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Swindon Capita Partnership, on behalf of Swindon Borough Council to conduct a geophysical survey on land at East Wichel, Wichelstowe, ahead of a proposed development. The survey was carried out over 1.9 hectares using a Bartington Grad601-2 dual sensor gradiometer system in 30m x 30m grids. The survey identified a limited number of anomalies that could be of archaeological interest. This included a pair of linear anomalies, interpreted as relating to former field boundaries or drains and a series of irregular discreet anomalies that may be of anthropogenic origin.
