Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes South Coast to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation, comprising 65 trenches, on 19ha of land with outline planning permission at Picket Twenty on the east side of Andover, Hampshire. The evaluation aimed to confirm the location and condition of four ring-ditch features that had been located by a prior geophysical survey, and to evaluate the potential for archaeological remains across the entire proposed development area. The results of the trenching suggest that the initial use of the area was as for Bronze Age burials. The location of the ring ditch monuments was confirmed, although all traces of the barrow mounds and old ground surface had been removed by ploughing. An additional fifth ring ditch, previously unrecorded, was discovered at the head of a coombe at the east end of the site. In the limited area investigated within each of the ring ditches, no associated burials were found. Sample sections cut through two of the ring ditches indicated that the ditch deposits were likely to be well preserved. A single undated cremation burial was found on the southern edge of the site within the eastern coombe, which suggests the potential for burial activity beyond the limits of the initial main barrow cemetery. The remainder of the site apparently formed part of an agricultural landscape, possibly with associated domestic settlement. A posthole structure and two pairs of postholes were found, with unabraded sherds of Late Bronze Age/Iron Age pottery, in three separate trenches on the west facing slopes of a coombe which extended to the north.
