Abstract:		 Wessex Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake archaeological monitoring, investigation and recording (AMIR) on groundworks associated with the erection of 9 dwellings at Northgate Street and New Park Street, Devizes. The AMIR was preceded by an archaeological evaluation carried out in 2019, which identified a possible medieval well of potential significance, as well as a post-medieval pit, containing a mixed assemblage of artefacts (pottery, bone, CBM, glass etc). A further pit and two postholes potentially from the late 17th century were also revealed, along with a cellar wall which may relate to buildings indicated on a map from 1759. Overall, the significance of these remains has been affected by subsequent groundworks to the extent that they exist as discrete features cut into the natural geology, limiting establishing stratigraphic relationships. Archaeological features uncovered during the AMIR comprised three pits dated to post medieval period (16th to 18th centuries), walls from 18th and 19th centuries and a well dating to the 19th century. These structures corelate broadly to the historic maps from 18th and 19th centuries. No features of medieval date were recorded though, therefore the potential for this area to contain medieval remains stays low.
