Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land surrounding Ridgeway Farm, Purton, North Wiltshre. To the south-west of Ridgeway Farm, the fieldwork revealed a concentration of intercutting Early to Middle Iron Age rubbish pits containing deliberately deposited occupation debris including pottery and animal bone. Adjacent postholes suggest associated structures may be present. To the south, a second concentration of features which could relate to quarrying or tree clearance, were dated to the Romano-British period. Extant ridge and furrow was present throughout the two fields to the east of Ridgeway Farm which were aligned broadly north to south. No associated medieval features were recorded in these areas. Extensive modern land fill recorded in the north-west of the Site comprised contaminated clay containing modern debris to a depth of 2.2 m to 2.8 m. The area may have been quarried for limestone prior to the modern infilling. The archaeological remains encountered were located immediately below the topsoil and would be directly impacted by any future development. It is therefore likely that the County Archaeologist for Wiltshire Council will require further archaeological mitigation in the area surrounding these features. The modern land fill in the north-west of the Site covered an area of 5ha. No archaeological horizons were revealed to have survived as a result of this extensive modern impact.
