Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land north and east of Barrow Farm, Chippenham between the B4069 and Bird's Marsh Wood, Wiltshire (National Grid Reference (NGR) ST 92500 75300). A meagre amount of prehistoric and Romano-British artefacts and lack of any thus-dated features suggests that the focus of human activity during these periods lay beyond the Site boundaries. Within the Site, archaeological activity dates to the medieval and post-medieval period. The mostly medieval features appear to represent agricultural activity e.g. waterholes and field boundary ditches, though significant deposits of late medieval kiln waste and associated activity suggest that a pottery kiln site exists within the confines of the Site. The post-medieval evidence points to field-manuring, probably with local midden waste. |
