Abstract:		 A further stage of archaeological evaluation (work was previously undertaken in 1988 by Wessex Archaeology) was carried out in April 1996 in three areas within the proposed Paxcroft Mead development area, Hilperton, near Trowbridge. Machine-excavated trenches were opened and examined to provide further information on the content and extent of archaeological deposits within the three zones. In Area 1 (ST 8810 5920) an apparently isolated Late Bronze Age pit, and a ditch of Romano-British date were uncovered in an area where earlier investigations had recorded other such ditches of similar (AD 2nd-century or later) date. In Area 2 (ST 8740 5870) areas of hillwash were examined and although dating evidence was limited the soil movement apparently dated from the Roman period onwards. Features including a ditch and a silt spread, of Roman date were also recorded. In Area 3 (ST 8710 5860) ditches, postholes and a pit, of Late Bronze Age date, were found to concentrate largely within one trench. No plans of structures could be reconstructed, but the nature and quantity of finds and features suggested domestic activities in or around the area examined. [Au(abr)]
