Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 20no 30m x 1.8m trenches. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site.Tr12 and Tr17 were moved from the locations specified in the WSI (CA 2023) in order to avoid overhead service lines. In April 2023, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Sandhole Lane, Westbury Leigh, Westbury, Wiltshire. A total of 20 trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded a small number of archaeological features, comprising two pits, two ditches and three furrows. Small quantities of prehistoric worked flint/chert were recovered from four of these features, but it is likely that most (if not all) of this material was residual within later features. The majority of the artefactual material recovered from the site was late post-medieval/modern in date. |
