Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Johan Denekamp (the Client) to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks at land to the south of Rock Cottage, Chilmark, Wiltshire, located at National Grid Reference ST 96929 31990. The watching brief was required as a condition of planning consent granted to the Client by Wiltshire Council (Planning Reference S/2011/1281/FUL)), the Local Planning Authority, for the erection of an agricultural building and the construction of a ha-ha. Previous archaeological works to the north-east and east of the site had identified Romano-British burials and settlement activity. An undated linear ditch was recorded immediately to the north of the site while furher possibly Romano-British burials were recorded to the south. The watching brief consisted of the monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of the ha-ha. The excavated trench was approximately 96m long, 4m wide and up to 1.2m deep. The site-wide stratigraphy comprised mid greyish brown clay topsoil overlying (in eastern part of the trench) a light greyish brown sandy clay subsoil and light yellowish brown sandy clay natural deposit. An undated possible feature with shallow sides and a concave base was observed in the western part of the trench. The fieldwork was udnertaken in July 2012. |
