Abstract:		 Border Archaeology Ltd (BAL) carried out a programme of archaeological observation during the engineering groundworks required to install a new water main at Pylle Hill Shepton Mallet Somerset. The pipeline extended westwards for a distance of approximately 1.2km from a connection point on the A37 Fosse Way and through fields to the S and SW of Pylle Lane to its termination at Pylle Hill. The modern A37 follows the course of the Fosse Way, an important Roman highway, and evidence of Roman occupation had been identified to the east of the A37. The western end of the route runs close to Pylle Manor and Manor Farm, which represent a settlement of medieval origin. Previous works in the area revealed a large ditch interpreted as a moat, potentially of 13th -14th century date. However, the present groundworks revealed no evidence of archaeological features or deposits of any period: the pit extending across the carriageway of the A37 and into the verge revealed only a sequence of modern road construction and resurfacing deposits and it is possible that any surviving evidence of the original Roman road construction or associated features and deposits may have been removed during the course of these later engineering works.
