Abstract:		 A targeted archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2015 on land at Trowle Solar Park Trowbridge Wiltshire. This phase of work followed an earlier evaluation by Cotswold Archaeology (CA 2015). Two excavation areas (Areas 1 and 2) were targeted on archaeological features that had been recorded by the earlier evaluation, in the hope of further understanding their significance. The excavation targeted on Trench 4 (Area 1) revealed a single isolated post hole 1703 possibly associated with the four other post holes and a pit that were found during the evaluation; the pit identified during the evaluation had contained 506 sherds of Middle Bronze Age pottery. Gully 402 identified during the evaluation was subsequently proven to be a modern land drain containing ceramic pipe with the worked flint recovered previously proving to be residual. The second area targeted on Trench 2 (Area 2) revealed an undated boundary ditch, 1802 and 1804. It is possible that the ditch in Area 2 may have been part of the post-medieval/modern field system as it is on the same alignment as the existing field boundaries. The drip gully feature 202 was suggested to be associated with a possible shepherd's windbreak rather than a drip gully to a hut etc, and excavation has supplied no new evidence to provide an alternative theory. There is evidence within Field 1 of temporary low level prehistoric and Middle Bronze Age activity.
