Abstract:		 An evaluation supported by desk-based assessment was undertaken to document the likley impact of propsals to upgrade tidal defences between Mitchell's Salt Rhine and New Pill, creating a wetland for wildlife and diverting the course of the Stup Pill. Assessment identified that, based on previous investigations, although the visible landscape of the north-Avon levels dates chiefly from the medieval and post-medieval periods, a hidden earlier landscape survives buried beneath a thick layer of alluvial clay. The excavation of two trenches in an area affected by a new wetland pond revealed part of a field boundary fenceline associated with Stup Pill and evidence of remodelling of the ground surface level on the south bank of Stup Pill, possibly associated with the railway. Of most interest was the sequence of peats, all of which were sampled for possible radiocarbon dating during environmental analysis. [AIP]
