Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August-September 2014 at Lynt Farm, Upper Inglesham, Wiltshire. Forty trenches were excavated. A photogrammetric record of extant ridge and furrow earthworks was also completed as part of the works. The evaluation identified archaeological remains dating to the early prehistoric to modern periods. The remains indicate the continued agricultural use of the site, with evidence of Iron Age enclosures, Roman agricultural boundaries, medieval ridge and furrow, a post-medieval field boundary and a modern metalled trackway. An isolated boundary ditch dating to the middle Bronze Age was identified. Four Iron Age enclosures, three of which most likely represent stock enclosures, were recorded in the southern part of the site. The function of the fourth remains uncertain. A posthole and pit, dated to the late prehistoric and Iron Age respectively, were identified in the northern part of the site. Agricultural boundary ditches and pits dating to the Roman period were identified, which may provide evidence for the adaptation of an Iron Age agricultural area in to the Roman period. Ridge and furrow of probable medieval date was identified across the central eastern part of the site. A post-medieval boundary ditch and modern trackway were identified in the north-eastern part of the site. A number of undated features were identified including ditches, gullies, pits and postholes. It is probable the majority of these features relate to the Iron Age and/or Roman agricultural use of the site. However, the features in the northern corner of the site may post-date the medieval ridge and furrow.
