Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during the excavation of a pipe trench which ran through a field containing an upstanding windmill mound and a second, damaged, mound. The line of the trench cut the edge of the latter. Further windmill sites, possible round barrows, a Roman road and prehistoric artefacts had been recorded in the surrounding area. During the watching brief, a ditch feature was observed, but it was noted that the mound itself did not appear to have been damaged by the trench, which appeared to have cut through slump deposits rather than an upstanding feature. Only the extreme western tip of the mound survived, much of it having probably been destroyed by the creation of the road to Shapwick, perhaps in the medieval period. Although no artefacts were recovered, it was felt that the mound represented a Bronze Age barrow rather than a purpose-built windmill mound, particularly as the road itself was of some antiquity.
