Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Wiltshire Council to carry out an archaeological watching brief at Beversbrook Sports Facility, Calne, Wiltshire (NGR ST 99845 72890). The watching brief was undertaken between the 16th February and 3rd March 2016 and comprised the archaeological monitoring of works associated with the excavation of a drainage network in the area of the new pitch, tree and hedge removal, the excavation of a re-routed drainage ditch and hedge line and the topsoil stripping of an All Weather Pitch. The watching brief revealed the area of the proposed All Weather Pitch to have been landscaped as part of the construction of the extant grass pitch. Topsoil stripping at the southern extent of the new All Weather Pitch revealed the remains of several shallow (0.05m deep max) north east to south west aligned furrows. Previous landscaping across the centre of the new pitch had truncated these features however the continuation of these furrows were noted within the sides of the new drainage ditch at the northern end of the site. A layer of modern detritus including plastic was also recorded in the centre of the new pitch. No other archaeological features or deposits were observed.
