Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by White Young Green to undertake a programme of archaeological monitoring (strip, map and record) during ground works associated with the construction of OP19 Hardstanding, part of the Eastern Infrastructure Project, Salisbury Plain, Wiltshire. These works were part of a larger programme to enhance the infrastructure of the training estate, and to improve the connectivity of the training areas across Salisbury Plain. The site was centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 403260 149850. The archaeological fieldwork was carried out from 19th to 28th February 2014. A number of archaeological features representing Romano-British activity were recorded during the works, indicating that the site was used during the 2nd to 4th centuries AD. These included a number of large pits of unknown function, enclosure ditches and a single inhumation grave, although no structural evidence was recorded. The artefactual assemblage included pottery, a number of quern stone fragments, two stone spindle whorls, a brooch and a single coin. The range of material culture is sufficient to indicate something of the nature of the Romano-British activity in this area, possibly reflecting an economy of mixed farming with limited, small-scale craft/industrial activities. The pottery provides evidence for the trading links, ceramic influences and the types of vessels used.
