Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief on sections of the Bristol Water Northern Trunk Main pipeline. The route of the pipeline subject to the watching brief runs along the northern side of the A4174, beginning south of Harry Stoke village at NGR 362000,178500 to the Bromley Heath roundabout at NGR 364700, 178200. The watching brief monitored groundworks at two pre-determined locations along the route of the pipeline and in both sections the initial process of topsoil stripping had been undertaken prior to the watching brief. The topsoil strip consisted of 8m wide easement along the Route. The easement was not stripped to sufficient depth to expose clean archaeological horizons, this combined with the constant tracking of plant across the stripped area made the identification of any insitu archaeological deposits along the easement impossible. No stratified archaeological features were observed within the trench excavation. The method of excavation (the use of a toothed bucket and immediate backfilling of excavation) combined with the unmonitored stripping of the topsoil is likely to have made the identification and recording of archaeological deposits difficult. However, during the watching brief no archaeological deposits were discovered at the site south of Hambrook, or within the Harry Stoke Development Site. It should also be noted, it is possible that archaeological deposits were present but were not identified due to the adverse conditions. Adjacent areas did not highlight any archaeological finds and thus the likelihood of additional finds is low.
