Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by URS Environment and Natural Resources on behalf of Project WINFRA to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation ahead of development at RNAS Yeovilton, Somerset centred on National Grid Reference ST 55173, 24280. Previous investigations undertaken within the RNAS Yeovilton site, during the spring of 2000, had identified a number of archaeological features relating to settlement activity, including roundhouses, stone-built rectangular buildings, pits, postholes and wells. Excavation provided evidence of four broad phases of activity comprising Middle Bronze Age, Middle/Late Iron Age, Late Iron Age/Romano-British (three sub-phases) and post-medieval/modern. The proposed construction scheme associated with Project WINFRA is located within two separate areas (Areas 1 and 2) of the RNAS Yeovilton site, and may impact further upon the previously recorded archaeological remains. As such an archaeological evaluation was undertaken in order to identify and clarify the nature of the archaeological potential within the Site. This evaluation consisted of the excavation of nine trenches of various lengths. Archaeological features were recorded in eight of the nine trenches, the majority of which, were ditches although several postholes, pits and tree throws were also recorded. Within Area 1 the majority of the features were undated , however, a large ditch was recorded within Trench 2 and 3 which contained post-medieval glass. Area 2 was in closer proximity to the area of previous investigation and a continuation of the Romano-British settlement can be inferred from the results of the evaluation. Dating was present in the form of Romano-British pottery recovered from a several ditches and a pit in Area 2.
