Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) during groundworks associated with the development of commercial units at Cross Keys Motors, Lydford-on-Fosse, Somerton, Somerset. This work took place at the request of a private client and was carried out by SWARCH personnel on 8th July 2020 in accordance with a Written Scheme of Investigation (Boyd 2020) and in consultation with the South West Heritage Trust. The site is on the north-west side of the commercial estate of Cross Keys Motors, in a triangle of land between the A37 and the Castle Cary to Taunton line of the Great Western Railway (GWR); c.450m south-west of the cross-roads at Lydford-on-Fosse. The site lies at a height of c.35m AOD on the slowly permeable calcareous clayey soils associated with shallow well drained brashy calcareous soils over limestone of the Evesham 1 Association (SSEW 1983), over interbedded mudstone and limestone of the Langport Member, Blue Lias Formation and Charmouth Mudstone Formation (BGS 2020). The Somerset Historic Environment Record indicates two 18th century turnpike roads: one along the now A37 (24627), which corresponds to the Roman route, the Fosse Way (55101) and runs along the north-west boundary of the site; the other (24695) at Lydford-on Fosse, between Langport and Castle Cary; both dated c.1753. The Curry Rivel-Castle Cary line (56989) of the GWR that opened c.1905/6 runs immediately south-south-east of the site.
