Abstract: |
<summary>Preliminary evaluation, comprising fieldwalking along the corridor of a proposed realignment of the A350 south of Westbury, and the excavation of a trench, was undertaken. The overall density of worked flint of prehistoric date and Romano-British pottery fragments recovered was low. Burnt flint, ceramic building material and post-medieval pottery were also present in small quantities. Trenching revealed a diverse range of features, including a pit and ditches of possible later Bronze Age date, traces of a probable field system, a burial, and features relating to probable farm buildings of Roman date. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
