Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in September and October 2018 at Land north of Warminster. 186 trenches were excavated. 97 of the excavated trenches produced archaeological features. These were in the form of pits, post-holes, gullies and ditches. They ranged in date from the Mesolithic/Early Neolithic to the Post-medieval period. A follow up archaeological evaluation was undertaken in February 2020 on the same site. Sixteen trenches were excavated. Ten contained archaeology; these are an addendum to the 2018 evaluation. Limited evidence of prehistoric activity was recorded in Phase 2, with an intrusive flint recovered from a ditch in trench 19 and flakes recovered from a pit in trench 194. A large number of ditches were dated by cartographic sources to the post-medieval/modern period, representing remodelling of the fields. Medieval pottery was recovered from ditch 19304, indicating an earlier phase of field systems, currently represented by a singular ditch.
