Abstract: |
Archaeological field evaluation, via trial trenching, was undertaken by Headland Archaeolo-gy on Land north of Netherhampton Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire The investigation revealed evidence of 5 probable ring-ditches, likely to represent the re-mains of round barrows, located on a flood plain. Artefactual evidence suggested a broad Bronze Age date for the features. Evidence of a heavily truncated, probable, urned cremation was also identified within the interior of one of the probable ring-ditches. A linear feature and probable pits of late Bronze Age date were identified in proximity to one of the ring-ditches, with a further possible linear feature recorded containing pottery dated to the Beaker period. Two further undated ditches and evidence of two ridge and furrow field systems were identi-fied with alluvial deposits and the course of a former paleo-channel recorded. |
