Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Options Utility Services Ltd (the Client), to undertake an archaeological watching brief during intrusive groundworks associated with the installation of a new telecommunications duct along the Packway between Rollestone crossroads and Fargo Road ammunition compound, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 10345 44600. The site is located along the northern boundary of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site and the cable route runs through the southern edge of a Scheduled Bronze Age barrow cemetery (SM 10233). Scheduled Monument Consent was granted for the works on condition that an archaeological watching brief was maintained during any intrusive excavations. Although the majority of the groundworks within the highway consisted of launch pits to facilitate lateral drilling and limit damage to the highway itself, within the Scheduled area a single open cut trench was machine excavated under archaeological supervision, to allow for the identification and recording of any archaeological remains present. No archaeological features were found during the watching brief and no artefacts were recovered. The watching brief was carried out from 19th July 2011 to 30th July 2011.
