Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2019 at the Kings Arms, Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The excavation area measured 85m2 in extent. Residual late prehistoric pottery was recovered from later features and a potential rampart deposit was recorded, possibly relating to the multivallate Iron Age hillfort known to have existed in the area. Buried medieval soil deposits and a medieval ditch were identified in the west of the site. The ditch probably represents a boundary or drainage ditch at the rear of burgage plots facing on to the High Street to the east. Two 17th century pits and a 19th-century stone culvert, drain and flagstone surface were recorded. These likely represent the use of the site as a coaching inn from the post-medieval period onwards. The flagstone surface correlates well to a yard shown on early 20th-century mapping.
