Abstract:
A survey of earthworks centred on 'Watgrove' field, Great Chalfield, was carried out by English Heritage (EH) in 2014 as part of the National Archaeological Identification Survey West Wiltshire Pilot Project, examining the archaeology of the A350 corridor. It mapped a series of previously unrecorded features. A mound close to the former course of the Lenton Brook shares similar characteristics with cropmark barrows discovered elsewhere during the aerial mapping stage of the project and is, potentially, the last vestige of a prehistoric burial mound. Further earthworks provide evidence for the medieval and later land-use of the area and, in particular, its connection with Great Chalfield Manor. These include: a complex of small platforms and hollow-ways, possibly the remains of small farmstead; a pillow mound, part of a medieval or postmedieval rabbit warren and relict field boundaries of a variety of dates. The most recent features comprise a system of post-medieval and later ditches and channels, incorporating a sheep dip.
