Abstract:		 Mitigation works, including excavation and a watching brief were undertaken along a section of the Chippenham Western Bypass. Evidence of prehistoric and Romano-British activity was revealed by the excavation. The prehistoric activity consisted of a distinct cluster of ephemeral pits, gullies and stakeholes. The small assemblage of stratified artefacts, including pottery and worked flint, suggested a Bronze Age date for the features. Lithic material retrieved during the watching brief over the remainder of the study area suggested a general level of Mesolithic, Neolithic and/or Bronze Age activity within the immediate vicinity. Evidence of Romano-British activity was restricted to two ditches revealed at the northern limit of the study area. However, the ditches confirmed that the Romano-British agricultural activity previously identified to the north of the study area continued to the south of Pudding Brook. [Au]
