Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to carry out archaeological trial trenching evaluation of land adjacent to Common Road, Harthill. The evaluation forms part of an ongoing programme of archaeological works being undertaken in order to fulfil planning constraints attached to an upcoming development. Ten trenches targeted geophysical anomalies and a small area where no geophysical investigation was conducted. Ditches were identified in all trenches except one. These linear features correspond to elements of an extensive field systems visible as crop marks on aerial photographs confirmed by geophysical survey. The linear features may be a series of boundary ditches; some of the features form smaller plots, others, together with pits and postholes, may define a variety of subrectangular enclosures. The field systems may represent a rationalisation of the landscape and planned division, designed for efficient management of land and pastoral animal economy. If so, the scale of the boundaries reflects the size of the social group that constructed them and indicates the importance of the boundaries in the landscape. The finds assemblage is extremely modest, with a limited range of materials present. One worked prehistoric flint was found, with two Romano-British fragments and one late medieval sherd forming the pottery assemblage. The trenching confirmed the results of the geophysical survey and indicated that the anomalies were predominantly archaeological features with a small number of geological variations.
