Abstract: |
<summary>A watching brief was maintained during the construction of a new water-main from Codford in Wiltshire to Ilchester in Somerset (a distance of 61.5km). Features and finds revealed or recovered from numerous locations along the route within Wiltshire ranged from prehistoric to modern in date. The principal sites identified comprised: a flat-grave inhumation cemetery of probable 7th century AD date (including burials within a ring-ditch), close to the village of Monkton Deverill; remains of a Roman road to the south-east of Monkton Deverill; an area of prehistoric (late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age) pit features at Summerslade Down; features within an area of earthworks known as the Pen Pits, associated with quernstone quarrying, near the village of Zeals; and features associated with late medieval/post-medieval activity at Zeals Row. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
