Abstract:		 On 16th November 2016 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation on land at Orchard House, Broad Blunsdon, Swindon, Wiltshire (NGR: 414890.190588 - centred). The project was commissioned by David Boyce of MDB Steel. The works comprised the excavation and recording of two evaluation trenches within a proposed development area. The evaluation has identified the presence of a possible Medieval ditch at the northern edge of an area of relatively level ground, which was situated at the south of the site. The ditch most likely represented the northern boundary of a terrace, which extended beyond the south of the site and, as such, the southern part of the site is probably situated at the northern edge of a Medieval or later settlement backland terrace. The northern part of the site comprised sloping ground, which contained soft, waterlogged peat deposits located downslope from the terrace to the south. The archaeological potential for this part of the site is therefore considered low.
