Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bloor Homes South West to undertake an archaeological excavation on land at Scot Elm Drive, West Wick, Weston-super-Mare, centred on NGR 337563 162103. The work was carried out as a condition (Condition 9) of outline planning permission (ref. 13/P/2409/O) for a residential development on a site of around 2.17 ha. In agreement with the Senior Archaeologist at North Somerset Council, the excavated area was reduced to 0.29 ha from the originally proposed 1.12 ha due, in part, to the extremely difficult working conditions. Despite this, the aims of the excavation were largely achieved. The results, albeit limited and slightly inconclusive in some regards, are generally consistent with current understanding of the development and exploitation of the landscape from the 1st millennium BC onwards. The excavation uncovered a small number of features that can be broadly assigned to two phases of activity. The stratigraphic and environmental evidence, as well as most of the finds, have little or no potential for further analysis. Nevertheless, the results, especially in terms of the evidence of Iron Age activity, are of at least local significance. It is proposed that, following analysis, the results of the excavation and are set out in the form of a short, illustrated article, to be submitted for publication in the regional journal, the Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society.
