Abstract:		 A watching brief was carried out during groundworks at the site of a new reservoir at the summit of Kingsdon Hill, where an earlier evaluation had recorded an undated rock-filled ditch and a small pit containing burnt bone and prehistoric pottery. The Roman town of Ilchester lay to the south, and a number of archaeological sites had been recorded in the surrounding area, including a settlement 800m to the south-west of the proposal site. Roman finds had also been recovered from the summit of the hill. During the watching brief, no archaeological finds or features were observed; only modern objects and plastics were present. It was noted that ground visibility had been so poor that it had been impossible even to relocate the features found in the previous evaluation. However, it was concluded that the construction of the reservoir had had a minimal impact on the archaeological resource within the development area. [AIP]
