Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd acting on behalf of Gazeley UK Ltd to carry out a programme of Archaeological Strip, Map and Sample Excavation on Land at the Triangle Site, Highworth Road, Swindon, Wiltshire centred on National Grid Reference SU 17695 88855. The work was required as a condition of planning consent granted by Swindon Borough Council for the construction of warehouses and general industrial units. The fieldwork in Area 1 confirmed the results of the earlier evaluation and revealed further features dating to the later prehistoric and early Romano-British period. The archaeological remains comprised an enclosure complex incorporating a series of pits, postholes, gullies and a probable roundhouse dating from the Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age. Although the overwhelming majority of features were postholes, only two discernible structures were identified, comprising a circular posthole enclosure with associated external hearth and a four-post structure.. Overall, the complex is indicative of a small scale or seasonally occupied settlement. Two crouched burials, one of which dates to the early Romano-British period, were also evident within Area 1 and are suggestive of the continuation of occupation of the site from the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age phase of activity. The grave goods included an iron brooch and whetstone. Earlier prehistoric background activity was recorded within Area 1, represented by a very small quantity of worked flint flakes, assigned a broad time span of Neolithic/Bronze Age date and retrieved from some of the excavated gullies and postholes. Noteworthy is a Middle Bronze Age loomweight retrieved from a Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pit.
