Abstract:		 August and September 2006, Oxford Archaeology carried out an excavation at West Wick, Weston-Super-Mare. The excavations revealed two main phases of archaeology dating to the 11th and 12th centuries and the 16th to 19th centuries respectively. The earlier medieval activity comprised a sequence of intercutting ditches, a series of pits and a large pond like feature. Artefactual and ecofactual evidence point towards small-scale specialised pastoralism and potentially seasonal salt working on site, the latter previously unrecognised from this period in Somerset. Following a significant period of abandonment the site was reoccupied in the post-medieval period, when a series of drainage ditches predate the construction of two low-status farmhouses.
