Abstract:		 An evaluation consisting of 21 thirty metre trenches was carried out at the Salisbury Gateway site. Nineteen trenches were targeted on the area of proposed development, and two on proposed ponds within a Sustainable Wetlands Area south and south-west of this. The north-eastern part of the evaluated area was higher and drier, the natural gravel dropping off to the south and south-west. Alluvium was found over the gravel along the north and south edges of the area. Most of the higher area had also been covered by recent dumping, raising the ground level by over 1m in places. The only evidence of prehistoric activity found was a single flint flake or blade, probably of Mesolithic or early Neolithic date. An inhumation burial of a child of 6-10 years contained one iron nail, suggestinga Romano-British or early medieval date. The burial appeared to be isolated, although not all of the area surrounding the grave was stripped. Post-medieval ditches on various alignments were found in seven trenches, and undated ditches in a further four. The remains of a leat constructed of chalk and timber, and with what appeared to be a second leat running off to the south, were found in Trench 12 towards the south edge of the evaluated area. This is interpreted as a head main or top channel of the water meadows, with a side main and sluice. The timbers were relatively well-preserved, but the structure had been robbed out in the 20th century.
