Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Taylor Wimpey UK Ltd to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land proposed for a housing development at Glenmore Farm, Westbury, Wiltshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of 35 trenches each measuring approximately 30m x 1.8m across one pasture field at the north of the site. One main area of archaeological potential was identified towards the north-eastern end of the site. Trenches 1-10 contained a dense concentration of archaeological features, consisting mainly of linear ditches and gullies. These have mostly been dated to the Romano-British period on the basis of pottery fragments recovered from their fills. They are interpreted largely as field boundary and drainage ditches. Trenches 4 and 5 also contained a pair of parallel ditches interpreted as bordering a trackway. One of these was also detected in Trench 12 and the other described a 90 degree turn and continued into Trench 10. This represents an opening-out of the trackway, probably into fields. Trenches 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 contained a more sparse concentration of archaeological material as the evidence became less dense towards the south and west. These trenches contained an appreciable quantity of archaeology, predominantly linear features. Most of these shared the same broad north-east/south-west alignment as features in the other trenches. They were similarly dated to the Romano-British period. As the proposed development does not directly impact on the north-eastern end of the site it was agreed, through consultation with Wiltshire Council Archaeology Service, that identified archaeological features in this area would only be lightly sampled in order to retain as much preservation in situ as possible, whilst characterising the date and nature of the archaeology
