Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation carried out by Archaeology South-East on land at Forest Farm, Chippenham, Wiltshire. The work was commissioned by Terence O'Rourke Ltd. The evaluation comprised fifty test trenches, each measuring up to 30m x 2m. A large number of archaeological features were identified, the great majority probably relating to Roman agricultural and settlement activity during the 2nd to mid-3rd century AD. Previous geo-physical survey had identified a large sub-circular enclosure and a series of small rectangular enclosures, together with a possible droveway and field system. The fieldwork generally corroborated the geo-physical survey results, while identifying many more features besides. While a few pieces of probably residual medieval/post-medieval material were collected, only one significant feature was firmly identified as later than Roman: a possible cinder track produced late post-medieval/modern pottery. With the exception of a small quantity of residual flintwork and perhaps a few sherds of pottery, no significant prehistoric remains were encountered.
