Abstract:		 In March and August 2005, Oxford Archaeology under took two phases of evaluation on land at West Wick near Weston-Super-Mare. The first phase evaluation mainly revealed only the natural alluvial sequence, however the trenches located approximately in the centre of the proposed development area contained a fairly high density of medieval and post-medieval boundary ditches and rubbish pits. Some of these were dated to the late Saxon or Saxo-Norman period. A further nine trenches were excavated during the second phase of the evaluation and these revealed evidence of drainage ditches and a field boundary relating to wider field systems of unknown date. Despite the lack of dating material it was possible to establish a phased sequence of activity on the site. The evaluation appears to demonstrate that the site here is typical of agricultural land prone to flood, with ditches being excavated to drain water away from the fields. The lack of artefactual material suggests no obvious settlement within the study area.
