A fluxgate gradiometer and resistivity surveys were undertaken on c.1ha of land at Annesley motte and bailey castle, Annesley, Nottinghamshire. The gradiometer survey recorded a relatively high density of anomalies, some of which appear to reflect defensive ditches. Others include ridge and furrow and modern ferrous remains. The fluxgate gradiometer was set to take 4 readings per metre, the zig-zag traverse method of survey was used, with 1m wide traverses across 30m x 30m grids. A Bartington Dual 601 fluxgate gradiometer with DL601 and RM15 Resistance Meter, with MPX15 multiplexer and twin probe array were used. A resistivity survey recorded relatively few significant anomalies, although some of the defensive features were also detected. The zig-zag traverse method of survey was used, with 1m wide traverses across 30m x 30m grids. Sample intervals were 0.25m and 1m. The surveys were conducted in rainy wet conditions.
