Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Savills on behalf of Trustees of MALF Pitt Rivers and Sandroyd School, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the consolidation of a number of passing bays positioned adjacent to an access track within Rushmore Park, Tollard Royal, Wiltshire, located at National Grid Reference (NGR) ST 95397 17460. The area surrounding the site is archaeologically significant, containing seven Scheduled Monuments and eight Grade II Listed Buildings. In addition, Rushmore Park is a Grade II Registered Park and Garden and the site lies on Cranborne Chase, part of the Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which is well known for its high densities of archaeological remains as well as its association with the archaeological investigations of Lt General Pitt Rivers. Following an archaeological desk-based assessment and subsequent archaeological evaluation on three of the passing bays, the Assistant County Archaeologist at Wiltshire Council required a watching brief during groundworks as a condition of the planning permission. A number of unstratified worked flint finds were identified within the topsoil during the watching brief and are indicative of the known background level of prehistoric activity across the site. Two ditches were also identified and were relatively shallow. They are considered likely to be minor boundary or field boundary ditches, pre-dating the present configuration of the park. The watching brief was undertaken over three days between the 4th and 9th August 2010.
