Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a targeted trial trench evaluation on land west of Trowbridge Road, Westbury, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 387586, 152594. Planning permission had been approved for the development of the Site (Planning Application No. 13/03568/OUT). In accordance with national legislation and local planning policies and following previous non-intrusive and intrusive assessments of the Site, the County Archaeological Officer of Wiltshire County Council had requested further assessment by means of evaluation trenching at selected locations so that informed decisions could be made regarding the scope of any further mitigation that may be needed before or during the development. The works consisted of 13 trenches, 11 x 30m by 2.10m and 2 x 25m by 2.10m, located in areas of proposed development within the Site and targeted on geophysical anomalies identified by previous works. The archaeological evaluation encountered a number of furrow ditches and drainage gullies relating to one or more phase(s) of land management. Apart from one undated pit, there was no archaeological evidence of settlement activity on the Site, indicating that the archaeology found by the previous evaluation is concentrated in two small areas. The majority of the features identified by a previous geophysical survey were determined to be the result of ridge and furrow land management or of geological origin. The programme of work was carried out between the 3rd to the 6th November 2014.
