A geophysical survey was undertaken in advance of a proposed development on land adjacent to Hempshill Hall, Broxtowe, Nottinghamshire. The study consisted of a detailed magnetometer survey of approximately 6ha of land covering 3 fields. A desk based assessment took place prior to the survey, this concluded that the area was of little archaeological potential. The survey was conducted with Bartington Grad 601-2, twin sensor array, vertical component fluxgate gradiometers (Bartington and Chapman 2003). These are standard instruments for archaeological survey and can resolve magnetic variations as slight as 0.1 nanoTesla (nT). 30m wide grid squares were measured and tied into Ordnance Survey National Grid. The processed data has been presented in greyscale and an interpretive overlay has been produced. The survey has detected only a few archaeological remains, comprising a short length of ditch and a pit, a possible bank or causeway, and ridge and furrow. Some of these may be related to the medieval village of Hempshill, but the location of the village itself remains elusive.
