Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Balfour Beatty Mott MacDonald to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of 20 signposts along a c. 2.9km stretch of the A36 between Standerwick in Somerset and ending at Black Dog Hill near Thoulstone in Wiltshire. Much of the archaeological watching brief was undertaken on the 4th/5th of January 2010. The final 3 test pits were excavated on the 29th March 2010. The works consisted of the excavation of 20 test pits, either hand dug (0.40 x 0.40m in size) or machine dug (1.10m x 0.70m in size) to accommodate the sign posts needed for the signage installation. The test pits were excavated to a depth of 0.70m - 0.90m depending on the size of the signpost to be installed. No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered during the course of the works. Evidence was recorded in the majority of test pits for significant levels of made ground and localised disturbance associated with the construction of the A36 and the installation of a gas main along part of the route. It is highly likely, therefore, that any existing archaeological remains, if present, had been removed by the road construction and later service installation.
