Magnetometry survey of 9.8ha of land at Red House Farm, Suffolk Magnitude Surveys was commissioned to assess the subsurface archaeological potential of a c. 9.8ha area of land at Red House Farm, Suffolk. A fluxgate gradiometer survey was successfully completed across the survey area. The geophysical survey has detected anomalies of archaeological, agricultural and natural origins. Partial rectilinear, linear and curvilinear anomalies of probable archaeological origin have been identified in the form of enclosure systems with internal subdivisions, potentially indicative of a Romano-British or Iron Age origin. Discrete anomalies possibly indicating pits were also detected. Agricultural activity has been identified in the form of former field boundaries and drainage features, and two undetermined, amorphous anomalies were detected for which archaeological origins cannot be discounted. Modern interference in the form of magnetic disturbance was limited to field boundaries and around isolated agricultural equipment within the field.
