A geophysical survey was undertaken of c. 12.5ha area of land at Elm Lane, Copdock, Suffolk. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully carried out across c. 10ha; the remainder was not surveyed due to the presence of overgrown vegetation, livestock, and allotments. The survey was undertaken using a Bartington Grad-13 digital three axis gradiometer mounted on a bespoke hand pulled GNSS position cart. The instrument was set to take readings at 1m traverse intervals on 0.125m sample intervals.No anomalies of probable or possible archaeological origin have been detected. The survey has primarily identified anomalies related to natural variations in the underlying soil and geology.
