| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a hard surface vehicle track, replacing an existing track on Salisbury Plain. The route ran through a well-preserved prehistoric and Romano-British landscape, passing within 100m of a Scheduled Ancient Monument, Lidbury Camp. During the evaluation a total of 54 features were recorded, including Iron Age pits and an eaves drip gully representing a hut circle, undated but possibly Iron Age post holes and a long, possibly Bronze Age, ditch. Pottery and animal bone were recovered. The features were generally found to be very well-preserved, although damage had occurred near the surface due to the passage of vehicles. It was concluded that groundworks for the hard surface track would disturb or destroy deposits, but that a new track would reduce the tendency for vehicles to stray and would thus reduce the potential for damage on either side.
