NO 1794 3920 A flux-gate gradiometer survey was undertaken 22–23 February 2012 at Hallhole Farm in advance of proposed development work. The survey crossed the scheduled ancient monument of Coin Hill, a concentration of prehistoric settlement remains identified as cropmarks, including souterrains and ring ditches. At total of 1.53ha was surveyed along the southern boundary of an arable field using a sampling density of 0.25 x 1m. Key discoveries included a possible souterrain with associated roundhouse(s) within the scheduled area and a potential pit-defined enclosure outside the scheduled area. Several possible pits, sections of ditches and undefined cut features were also noted. A small number of worked flints were retrieved from the surface of the ploughsoil.
