Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of three machine-excavated trenches was undertaken by AC archaeology on land at Gibbs Close, Westbury, Wiltshire, in December 2010. The work was undertaken in support of a planning application for the residential development of the site. Although only limited archaeological activity was revealed within the evaluation, it has demonstrated that archaeological deposits may survive in the east portion of the site where Trench 2 was positioned. A single feature of medieval or post-Medieval origin and representing part of a probable former field boundary ditch was recorded in here. The west extent of the proposed development contained extensive evidence of relatively modern disturbance and truncation. Two subsoil features of post-medieval date were recorded here. A small quantity of artefacts, including medieval and later pottery was recovered. |
