Abstract:		 The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 16 trenches of 50m length, in the locations shown on the attached plan (Fig. 2). Trenches were positioned to intersect anomalies recorded during the geophysical survey, and further trenches were located to investigate blank areas in the survey. Trenches 5 and 16 were moved and Trenches 6 and 14 were shortened to avoid underground services, with the approval of Mr Parry. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4 Survey Manual (2012). An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2013 at the proposed site of the Phase 2 development of Northwick Solar Farm, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire. Sixteen trenches were excavated. Two pits, a possible third pit and a ditch, all in the west of the site can be dated to the Iron Age. Several possible ditches or pits produced no archaeological material and could be of natural or anthropogenic origin. A post-medieval probable quarry was recorded in the northeast of the site. Over 100 pieces of struck flint were recovered from the surface of the topsoil; this multi-period material included a microlith, a fragment of a polished axe, several scrapers and a barbed and tanged arrowhead, and suggests possibly intermittent use of the site, or occupation in the vicinity, from the Late Mesolithic period to the Early Bronze Age.
