Abstract:		 Site WNF 029, the proposed southern extension to Wangford Quarry, was evaluated by machine-cut trial trenches. The western half of the site contained a series of ditches, some of these on the same alignment as those extending from site WNF 023 to the north. It is possible that these ditches are part of a single rectilinear enclosure, which could be up to 260m length. Alternatively these ditches could all be part of a grid of ditches, possibly including some smaller enclosures, all on similar alignments. At the centre of this area, previously detected by aerial photography, were a series of ditches possibly enclosing a hollow or pond. A pot sherd and a tile fragment of medieval or later date were recovered from the fills of the pond, but were not from well secured deposits and are thus not entirely conclusive. Dating of the surrounding ditches is dependent on a single medieval pottery sherd from the ditch that formed the eastern boundary of the possible enclosure. A scatter of unstratified flintwork across the western half of the site suggests that Neolithic activity was widespread in this area. A pit of Early Neolithic date was revealed containing the remains of a single vessel. This was located to the north of the western half of the site. Towards the south of this area was a post-hole containing large fragments of at least two different Middle Bronze Age urns. These are similar vessels to those recovered from a cremation cemetery c.370m to the north. No evidence for cremation or burial was found in association with this feature.
