Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by B25 Ltd to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the excavation of 39 'pits' associated with explosive special effects. The works were undertaken on land immediately east of the disused Cheverell Hill Farm. A single pit, dated to the Neolithic, containing struck flint, antler and small fragments of pottery was recorded during the archaeological monitoring. The pit itself is small and ovoid and stylistically similar to other Neolithic pits found in Wiltshire. The red deer antler, despite showing no signs of wear, is thought to have been bisected in order to form a pick and rake. Environmental evidence indicates the presence of some charred plant remains, though a certain level of intrusive material was also present. Given the sparse evidence for Neolithic activity within this area, the identification of this feature is of local significant. A total of 39 Explosive Pits were investigated, with the majority comprising only natural deposits. A single Neolithic pit, containing a red deer antler, was identified within Explosive Pit 29 in the south-south-east of the site.
