Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Wadworth and Co. Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of the former King's Arms Public House, Market Lavington, Wiltshire. A single machine dug trench demonstrated that there is a significant depth of archaeological deposit underlying the area of the proposed new building, which can be attributed to two distinct chronological phases. The earlier phase appears to represent colluvium, which contained a residual sherd of Romano-British pottery and piece of medieval pottery. The latter was in a relatively fresh condition and may be related to the layout of the planned settlement in the 12th/13th century. A subsequent phase of activity appears to represent a deliberate deposit to raise the level of the ground, probably in the post medieval period Whilst there is clear evidence of activity on the Site, the lack of material does not suggest intensive medieval settlement within this particular tenement plot. |
