Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned Bellway Homes Ltd. to undertake an archaeological watching brief during initial groundworks on land at the former Winkworth Machinery Ltd, Willow Tree Works, Swallowfield Street, Swallowfield (National Grid Reference 472397 164986). The watching brief consisted of monitoring initial groundworks, primarily concerning the new access roads and the house plot foundations and was undertaken on an intermittent basis between 3 November 2015 and 23 March 2016. The previous desk-based assessment had established that the majority of impacts to any potential archaeological remains had occurred within the eastern part of the site. This conclusion was borne out by observations made during the watching brief. However, with the exception of ponds within the north-western part of the Site (partially observed during the evaluation phase) there were no substantial impacts from the construction works in this area. The greater part of the development impacts occurred in the eastern part of the site where map regression and trial trench evaluation had already identified considerable impacts from the 20th and 21st century industrial use of the Site. Monitoring in these areas confirmed substantial truncation and contamination which is considered to have largely negated any archaeological potential in these areas. No archaeological features or deposits were found.
