Abstract: |
In February 2008 Wessex Archaeology commissioned by Archstone Lifestyle Homes to undertook an archaeological watching brief, prior to a soak away emplacement, on land at Wilton Autos, West Street, Wilton, Wiltshire (hereafter the Site). The area inspected was located within the c. 0.2 ha development site and was centred on National Grid Reference 409420 131370. The watching brief was carried out on the 19th and 20th February 2008.
The Site showed a stratigraphy, typical in this area of Wilton, consisting of demolition rubble overlying made ground to a depth of approximately 2.00m. The underlying natural geology (flood plain gravels) was encountered at this depth.
The features revealed comprised substantial refuse pits of late post-medieval date. The finds recovered included pieces of modern ceramic building material (CBM) and slate roof tile of modern derivation. Therefore, the artefacts were visually inspected but not retained. No archaeological features or deposits predating the late post-medieval period were revealed during the course of the watching brief. |
