Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Chris Blandford Associates, on behalf of English Heritage (the Client) to undertake an archaeological watching brief during Site Investigations at Stonehenge and Airman's Corner, Winterbourne Stoke, Wiltshire, located between National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 09657 42927 and SU 12552 42142. The site is located within the Stonehenge part of the Avebury and Stonehenge World Heritage Site which comprises a prehistoric monumental and funeral landscape within a 5km radius of Stonehenge. The site was therefore considered to have a high archaeological potential especially within the Stonehenge Visitors car park and at Airman's Corner. The watching brief was requested as part of the initial mitigation investigations associated with the Stonehenge Environmental Improvements Project (SEIP) which will involve decommissioning and removal of the existing visitor centre, car park and A344 between Byway 12 and Stonehenge Bottom. The watching brief comprised the hand excavation of twelve small trial pits. Two trial pits were located in the Stonehenge Visitor car park, five trial pits were positioned on the A344, two located on the A360 at Airman's corner and three situated on the B3086. No archaeological features or deposits were evident within the trial pits. It should be noted that the shallow depth and small sample size of the trial pits were all within made ground deposits and the survival of potential archaeological features below the present road in the areas observed cannot be discounted.
