Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between July and September 2015 at Weston Airfield, Weston-Super-Mare, North-Somerset. The excavation comprised three areas, of which two targeted possible palaeochannels identified through previous geophysical and LiDAR surveys of the site. A network of field drains was identified throughout each of the three excavation areas. Of potentially post-medieval, or even medieval, origin these had later been infilled and levelled with gravel, with modern ceramic and concrete drainage pipes inserted, probably during construction of the airfield and aircraft factory in the 1940s. No artefactual material was recovered. The possible palaeochannels were not identified during the excavation, and the features detected by previous surveys proved instead to be the result of land-raising deposits of modern origin, probably also associated with construction of the airfield and aircraft factory.
