Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of Lightsource to conduct an archaeological watching brief on the soil stripping operations prior to the construction of the access tracks and compound areas for the development of a solar farm. The development is located at Charity Farm, Burlton, Shropshire and is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SJ 45860, 26258. Areas impacted by the construction of the access roads across the site were stripped under archaeological supervision to the level of natural geology. The natural substrate was reached at an average depth of 0.3 m below ground level. No subsoil deposits were identified, with only a topsoil deposit being recorded. The monitored groundworks identified no surviving archaeological remains. Numerous field drain and plough scars were observed cutting the natural substrate but no features pre-dating the post-medieval agricultural use of the land were identified. No finds were recovered identified from the topsoil strip which would indicate a more ephemeral archaeological presence on Site. The lack of identified features is consistent with the lack of known archaeological features previously identified in the vicinity of the site.
