Abstract:		 An archaeological trench evaluation on land forming Area 1 and Area 6 Phase 2 residential development, Stockmoor Village, Bridgwater, Somerset (ST30373486), was undertaken by AC archaeology. The site is located to the south of Bridgwater and to the west of Taunton Road (A38), in an area where a number of Romano-British finds, including coins, have been found by metal detectorists. Part of the site is positioned on raised ground above a low-lying wetland area, with therefore good potential for early settlement remains to be present. The evaluation comprised the machine-excavation of 16 trenches, totalling 569m in length. Archaeological features and deposits were identified mainly on the elevated ground to the east, with these dating to the late Iron Age and medieval periods. The Iron Age features principally comprised ditches and gullies and appear to represent evidence for settlement and perhaps early field division. The medieval features were linear ditches and are likely to be former boundaries of this date. In the lower-lying areas to the west, two probable 19th century agricultural ditches were present.
