Abstract:		 In April 2008 Albion Archaeology attended preliminary earthworks being undertaken in advance of the construction of a noise reduction bund at Thruxton Airport, Andover, Hampshire. Albion Archaeology was commissioned by Brook Consultants to undertake a programme of archaeological observation in accordance with a Project Design, approved by the Principal Archaeologist for Hampshire (PAH). The work was necessary because of the site's proximity to a parish boundary and its setting within a significant, wider archaeological landscape. The noise reduction bund is located on the north (Kimpton) side of Thruxton Airport. The site lies on the northern edge of relatively flat ridge at c. 93m OD before it slopes down to the Snoddington Road at c. 81m OD. Six trenches, up to 16.5m in length, were opened across the area of the proposed bund and excavated down to 0.3m or undisturbed geological deposits. The trenching identified the shallow nature of the overburden within the area and revealed the underlying chalk geology of the ridge. No archaeological deposits were identified at any level within the trenches. The trenching did reveal areas of disturbed ground associated with the airfield. The parish boundary was not present in the form of a cut archaeological feature in the area observed.
