Abstract:		 The study area lay on low ground on the southwest of West Wick to the east of Weston-Super-Mare. The northwest arm of the study area was occupied by a derelict farmhouse and associated buildings. Little historical evidence was found for the area prior to the tithe award of 1834, although it was known that West Wick lay within the great manor of Banwell in the Hundred of Winterstoke. The earliest mention of West Wick was in Collinson's history of Somerset (1791): "West Wick belongs to Banwell......but contains little worthy of note". No visible or written evidence was found for the survival of pre-19th century archaeology within the area, although it was noted that the possibility existed for the presence of a putative shrunken medieval settlement and that future investigations take this into account. Abundant evidence for Romano-British activity had been found in the surrounding area which also prompted the need for further archaeological interventions during future developments. [AIP]
