Abstract:		 Archaeology South-East was commissioned by Amec Environment and Infrastructure UK LTD to undertake an archaeological watching brief during geo-technical investigations on land designated for the Standen Heath Landfill Site extension at Standen Heath, Isle of Wight. The watching brief comprised the continuous monitoring of the mechanical excavation of ten geo-technical trial pits. Widespread evidence of marling indicted that much of the site had been ploughed at some time, probably in the post-medieval /modern period. The work identified two archaeological features. An undated possible ditch was possibly associated with what appeared to be terracing and/or lynchets. Such an arrangement might indicate the presence of a system of small fields, predating the current layout. A second undated ditch, together with a parallel existing straight ditch, perhaps represented the flanking ditches of a c.8m wide trackway. This proposition was supported by a noticeable hollowing of the ground surface between the suggested flanking ditches, potentially caused by traffic. The only finds recovered during the work comprised two pieces of worked flint and a small quantity of fire-cracked flint.
