Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was required as a condition of Scheduled Monument consent for the construction of a new temporary shop at the SAM of Old Wardour Castle. The new shop lay to the north of the ruins within the bailey, close to the curtain wall. The hand-excavation of six small square foundation pad trenches and one large service trench, the machine excavation of another larger trench and ground disturbance caused by vegetation clearance was observed. Mixed topsoil and overburden was found to overlay a sandy silty clay deposit in most of the trenches. This deposit appeared to have been introduced to raise the ground level in the bailey. An undated, possible linear, feature was observed in the base of one of the foundation pad trenches. A deposit of greensand and brick rubble was observed in the hole created when some vegetation was cleared. This rubble may have been used as hard core for a path when the monument was surrounded by formal gardens. [Au(abr)]
