Abstract:		 The archaeological excavation was undertaken throughout the areas as per the plan agreed between the client and HCC. It consisted of two areas totalling 3,623m2. The northern Area 2 was 2807m2 and the southern Area 1 was 797m2. Excavation areas were set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using a Leica GPS, and scanned for live services by trained staff using CAT and Genny equipment in accordance with the Cotswold Archaeology Safe System of Work for avoiding underground services. The position and size of excavation areas was adjusted on site to account for metal barriers on the east side of Area 1 but also to encompass an area over and above the area that needed to be stripped for Area 2, which had been stripped prior to the start of excavation. Following the consultation with the County Archaeologist of Hampshire County Council (CAHCC), archaeological advisor to the Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council (BDBC), it was decided to re-strip this area under archaeological supervision in order to ascertain its archaeological potential. The final ‘as dug’ areas were recorded with GPS (Figure 2). A number of test pits had also been dug by the developer prior to the excavation commencing. The locations of these were recorded (Areas 3-7) but it was noted that they contained no archaeological finds or features. programme of archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2017 at Aldermaston Road Triangle, Basingstoke, Hampshire at the request of CgMs on behalf of Bovis Homes. Two areas comprising c. 0.36ha were excavated within the development area. Five ditches (A, B, C, D and E) were found. Ditches A and B were located in Area 1 and Ditches C-E in Area 2. Ditch B was a continuation of a known Prehistoric ‘Wessex Linear’ boundary aligned north-east/south-west which went out of use with the cultivation of land to the north in the late Roman period. Ditch A was a later Prehistoric boundary that was cut by Ditch B. Ditch C was undated by artefacts. Ditches D and E were part of medieval/postmedieval field systems. A small artefactual assemblage was recovered from the excavation and the sampling strategy recovered environmental evidence consistent with results previously obtained through excavation of the ‘Wessex Linear’ boundary ditch.
