Abstract:		 John Moore Heritage Services were commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd on behalf of their client Wainhomes Developments Ltd to undertake archaeological investigations on land at Moredon Bridge, West Swindon, Wiltshire (centred SU 1220 8700) in advance of a new housing development (Planning Reference: 08/00403/OUT). Following the production of an archaeological Desk Based Assessment (CGMS 2008), a geophysical survey indicated the presence of a variety of landscape features (Stratascan 2008), which were confirmed as archaeological in nature and predominately late Bronze Age/ early Iron Age in date during the subsequent archaeological evaluation (CAT 2009). Further open area excavations enabled detailed investigation of these features and recovered artefacts dating from the Mesolithic through to the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age (1000-600/550BC). The most substantial remains relate to a series of ditched enclosures with associated occupation evidence including a ring gully of a prehistoric round house, 4-post structure and a wide distribution of isolated or grouped pits and postholes which could not be assigned with confidence to identifiable structures. The settlement evidence has been 'phased' based on stratigraphic relationships and spatial distributions. The site was used repeatedly during the late Bronze Age/early Iron Age period and was probably occupied on a seasonal basis.
