Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Atkins Global, Exeter (the Client) to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation in advance of the proposed development of a new primary school and associated works on land east of Primrose Lane, Yeovil, Somerset (NGR ST 57320, 17997). The work which, comprised the excavation of twelve machine excavated trial trenches, was undertaken between the 3rd and 5th February 2015. This fieldwork followed an archaeological desk-based assessment (COAS 2014) and geophysical survey (Stratascan 2014) which had been conducted over a wider development area. Trenches were positioned across the site so as to target both selected geophysical anomalies and apparently 'blank' areas to provide an assessment of the reliability of the geophysical results and to evaluate the proposed school site. This evaluation revealed an extensive medieval to post-medieval agricultural landscape represented by the numerous furrows also identified during a previous geophysical survey. In addition several undated drainage and small field ditches were identified, predominately towards the eastern side of the proposed development which may form part of the Late prehistoric to Romano-British landscape identified on the adjacent Wyndham Park development. The site itself, however seem to lie on the periphery of the main settlement and activity areas with few artefacts or traces of occupation identified. The concentration of features seen within the eastern side of the site may also be associated with a series of possible rectilinear enclosures identified on the geophysical survey to the east of the site.
