Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation by means of machine-excavated trenches and hand-dug trial pits on land to the rear of Wye House, Marlborough was carried out in three proposed development cells (A, B & D). In Cell A redeposited soil layers containing residual pottery sherds of medieval, Roman and possibly Saxon date were found; it was considered possible that settlement activity existed nearby, perhaps to the north on a ridge top. In Cell B deep colluvium was seen, and further upslope terraces possibly associated with the formal gardens which were constructed in 1860 for Wye House were excavated, along with a former garden path. In Cell D a sequence of alluvial deposits were seen. [Au(abr)] |
