Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Bridgeway Consulting Ltd, acting on behalf of Mott MacDonald, to undertake an archaeological watching brief at RNAS Yeovilton on the proposed site of a new Aircraft/Amphibious Vehicle Underwater Escape and Survival Training (A/AVUEST) facility. This watching brief was to take place on geotechnical ground investigation works, consisting of the excavation of five test pits. The watching brief took place on the 22nd and 23rd July 2015. A total of seven geotechnical pits were excavated due to the presence of archaeological remains. A previous geophysical survey conducted to detect unexploded ordnance had revealed a number of possible archaeological features which may suggest the presence of an Iron Age/Romano-British settlement nearby and indications of medieval ploughing. Apart from the archaeological remains, there was no evidence of ground disturbance encountered by the geotechnical investigations. The archaeological remains found consisted of two undated walls. The nature of the investigations meant that the precise function and purpose of these walls cannot currently be determined. It is proposed that these are most likely field boundaries, but may belong to a building or building complex. Further investigations would be necessary to determine the extent and date of these remains and any associated features.
