Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between September and October 2009 at Land North of Chippenham, Wiltshire. A total of 56 trenches was excavated. The evaluation identified archaeological deposits across the current evaluation area. Archaeological activity in the form of cut features dating to the Roman, medieval, post-medieval and modern periods was represented. A distinct area of Roman settlement activity was identified in the northern part of the evaluation area with dating evidence from the 2nd to 3rd centuries AD; one other area of Roman activity was identified near the southern boundary of the evaluation area where two pits were identified. A focus of medieval activity was identified in the northeastern part of the evaluation area with features of contemporary date identified in the central and north-western parts of the area. Features associated with post-medieval land use were also identified. |
