Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology, commissioned by the Royal Artillery Museum undertook an archaeological evaluation of a 12.6-hectare parcel of land located off Salisbury Road, Netheravon, Wiltshire. The works were undertaken to inform decisions regarding determination of a planning application for the construction of a museum on the site. Desk-based assessment had previously identified significant modern features relating directly to the historic military presence within the site. and a geophysical survey highlighted the potential for significant archaeological activity. The subsequent evaluation consisted of 29 trial trenches targeted on potential features identified by the prior geophysical survey. This trial trenching comprised an approximate 3% sample by area of the impacted areas. A total of 13 of the 29 excavated trenches contained archaeological features and deposits. These features related mainly to a funerary landscape located towards the centre and northern part of the Site. The earliest elements of this activity appear to be focused on two large features (Trenches 2 and 3) within the northern edge of the Site, one of which -a possible pond barrow - contains at least two features containing cremated human remains. These large pits are possibly dated to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age. An inhumation cemetery focussed on at least two central barrows was thought to belong to the Anglo-Saxon period. Earlier material was represented by at least one pit dating to the Early Neolithic, whereas a widespread co-axial field-system covering large parts of the Site was shown to date from at least the Medieval period.
