Abstract:		 A trenched field evaluation was undertaken in September 2016 to examine the archaeological potential of a site intended for a solar farm at High Point Farm near Neen Sollars, Shropshire. The site comprises two agricultural fields currently under pasture and is centred on NGR SO 66397 70949. Finds from the surrounding area suggest that there was possibly prehistoric activity in the area, but no monuments or features have been identified. The earliest recorded reference of Neen Sollars is from the 1086 Doomsday Survey. The Church of All Saints in Neen Sollars dates to the 13th Century, yet the majority of the buildings in the surrounded area of a post-medieval date. -> -> Four trenches were excavated, targeting anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey of the Site (ESA7846), three in the eastern field and one in the western field. The evaluation identified a feature of possible archaeological significance located at a depth of 0.9m in the north-western corner of the eastern field (Trench 3). This feature, which was examined in two hand-excavated sondages, comprised a high density spread of burnt material and heat effected stones, a composition that is characteristic of the remains of a prehistoric burnt mound. No other deposits or finds of potential archaeological significance were found.
