The site is located 0.4km northeast of the centre of Aslockton, on the north side of the Cliffhill Lane. The proposed development area encompasses some 4.62 hectares. The magnetic survey was carried out using two dual sensor Grad601-2 Magnetic Gradiometers manufactured by Bartington Instruments Ltd. Readings were taken at 0.25m intervals along traverses 1m apart. This equates to 6400 sampling points in a full 40m x 40m grid. The Grad 601 has a typical depth of penetration of 0.5m to 1.0m although a greater range is possible where strongly magnetic objects have been buried in the site. Although aeriel photographs of the area show possible settlement activity directly to the north and northwest of the site no positive linear features were recorded in the survey. The site is likely to be located within the open fields surrounding the settlement. A number of discrete positive responses might represent isolated pit features. However, these features are difficult to interpret on the basis of form alone. One large positive anomaly was recorded in the south west corner of the site. While an archaeological explanation can not be ruled out it most likely is caused by recent watering area for the cattle kept in the field.
