Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Shrewton Cricket Club, to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of a 2.188 hectare parcel of land located in Clancy Field, Nett Road, Shrewton, Wiltshire, SP3 4BE and centred on National rid Reference SU 07265 43950 The proposed development comprises the creation of new cricket ground including a two-storey clubhouse, changing rooms, machinery shed, multi-use games area (MUGA), practice nets and car park. It will also involve the formation of new vehicular access from Nett Road and upgrading of the latter including the formation of four passing bays and improved visibility with A360. Planning application 14/06488/FUL was granted on 6th February 2015 by Wiltshire Council with the condition that a programme of archaeological investigation be undertaken. Subsequently a six test pit watching brief (TP 1 - 6) and a six trench and one excavation area evaluation (Tr 7 - 13) was undertaken which comprised an approximate 2.5% sample of the proposed development area. No archaeological features were revealed within the watching brief and evaluation that would be impacted upon by the proposed development. Several tree throws were identified. Two small fragments of burnt flint were recovered from a tree throw in Trench 10 but the origin of these finds is unclear. The fieldwork was undertaken on the 4th and 31st August 2017. |
