Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes Wessex, to carry out an archaeological evaluation at, Shrivenham Road, Highworth, Swindon, Wiltshire The work comprised of 7 no 30m x 1.8m machine dug trial trenches. No significant archaeological features or deposits were encountered. The evaluation did reveal two shallow field ditches aligned north west to south east and appeared in both trench 1 and trench 5. Although no artefactual evidence was recovered the ditches are likely to date to the early 20th century, based upon OS mapping. A ditch of unknown date and on a differing alignment, running north south was recorded in trench 1. It most probably pre dates the modern ditches as it does not appear on any of the OS mapping. |
