Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological desk-based assessment and walkover survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. for land at Wheelers Meadow, Martock, Somerset. The site is located towards the northern end of the historic core of the settlement of Martock, to the east of the main road, North Street. The surrounding landscape contains evidence of prehistoric, medieval and post-medieval settlement and farming activity; the town containing buildings dating from the 15th to 19th centuries which reflect the growth of the settlement. Prior to the 19th century the proposal site appears to have remained a combination of meadow and orchard, the 1850s construction of the Durston to Yeovil railway being the first apparent significant development, the line running through the majority of the site. Following the closure of the railway in the 20th century the site has been further developed, now being in use as part of a larger group of domestic garages and parking. Whilst there is the potential for archaeological remains to be present including of prehistoric to medieval date, suggested by the identification of Iron Age settlement to the west and the recorded medieval settlement of Limbury in the area, the construction of the railway and later 20th century development of the site will have likely destroyed all below ground archaeological remains, as has been identified by archaeological works elsewhere in the town. With this in mind, whilst the impact of any development on surviving buried archaeological resource would be permanent and irreversible, the archaeological potential for the site is relatively low.
