Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by WYG to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the construction of a new cycleway, at Somme Road, Perham Down, hereafter 'the Route'. The Route extends from National Grid Reference (NGR) 425435, 150250 to 425812 149225. The watching brief was completed over seven separate days (26 August 2015 to 12 October 2015). Only two archaeological features were encountered during the works, the corner of a modern trench that is likely related to 20th century military activity and a small shallow undated pit, situated close to the former. Both were located within the southern half of the Route, within the present recreation ground. Following the limited results revealed during full-time archaeological attendance of machine stripping for the southern part of the Route, all parties agreed to proceed with a test pit methodology in order to assess the remainder of the Route where it was located close to the existing road and military compounds. Five test pits were excavated by machine under archaeological supervision, and although only one encountered disturbed ground, no further archaeological features or deposits were identified.
