Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Michael Lyons Architecture, on behalf of the client, to maintain an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the development of a single dwelling at East Farm, Fovant, Wiltshire, SP3 5JD, centred on NGR 401132 128515. The watching brief was carried out as a condition of planning permission granted by Wiltshire Council (ref. 19/04978/FUL). The watching brief was conducted on 3-5 and 10-12 August 2020. During the mechanical reduction of the development area, the attendant archaeologist identified what was initially suspected, and subsequently confirmed to be a grave containing the remains of an urned cremation burial. The subsequent excavation of the foundation trenches revealed a further two graves set 0.2 m apart and around 3.5 m to the ESE, which contained the remains of unurned cremation burials. Despite some possible minor truncation, the remains of the burials, survived to an unusual depth. This is presumably because the graves were cut into and sealed by colluvium, protecting them from post-depositional disturbance. No other archaeological features or deposits were encountered during the watching brief. The only other finds are a flint blade recovered from the surface of the colluvium and four other pieces of worked flint from the topsoil.
