Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by AEE Renewables UK 24 Limited (The Client) to undertake a trial trench evaluation on land at Sevor Farm, on land proposed for the construction of a Solar Farm. The evaluation identified a high potential for the survival and presence of archaeological features and deposits dating to the Romano-British period. Three areas of high archaeological potential were identifed; . Area 1 revealed the presence of two large parallel boundary ditches running in an east to west direction, and a possible sub rectangular enclosure towards the northern end of the trench dating to the Romano-British period, along with a number of pits potentially of similar date to the surrounding features. Area 2 revealed a Romano-British occupation spread with possible remnants of an insitu wall, and a quantity of Romano-British pottery and ceramic building material, including box flue tile, which may suggest that there is a high status Roman building, such as a villa within the near vicinity. There was also potential evidence of a ring gully with internal postholes. Within Trenches 17 to 19 a high concentration of potential pits was uncovered as well as boundary ditches and a further possible ring gully with internal post holes within trench 18. A concentration of Romano-British archaeological features were seen in Trench 15 (Area 3), and confirmed the presence of a possible ring ditch . The ring ditch contained a significant quantity of Romano-British finds. A series of ditches were also present within the trench that may form part of a field system or occupation features associated with the ring ditch. A potential Romano-British occupation spread was found within the southern end of the trench.
