The survey area is located to the east of Newington and to the south-west of Misson. It comprises two agricultural fields, bounded by Newington Road to the north, Slaynes Road to the south, with small lake to the east and elsewhere by farmland. The total size of the survey area is 15.4 hectares and is situated at c. 3-4m AOD. On this site Bartington Grad601 magnetic gradiometers were used. These instruments are calibrated to take readings at 0.25m intervals on zig-zag traverses 1m apart within a series of 30m by 30m grids resulting in 3600 readings per 30m grid square. The geophysical survey detected agricultural anomalies relating to former field boundaries which were later interpreted as the remains of early modern. The removal of these boundaries has also created areas of intense concentration of geological material which have been brought to the surface as a result. No archaeological anomalies were detected by the geophysical survey, and this was largely confirmed by the subsequent trial trenching.
