Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Spence to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Manor Farm, Orcheston, Wilthire prior to the determination of a planning application which proposed the removal of redundant farm storage buildings and construction of three new dwellings with associated access and garage. The Assistant County Archaeologist had advised the proposed development was positioned within anh areas of arcaeholgocial potential and prior to the determination of the planning application, an archaeological field evaluation should be undertaken. Two trial trenches each measuring approximately 20m by 1.6m were machine-excavated within the proposed development area. Two ditches and a pit like feature were recorded within the trenches. Small quantities of animal bone were recovered but no other archaeological finds were present and the features remain undated. The evaluation established that there is a reasonable potential for the presence of archaeological features being present at the site. The fieldwork was carried out on the 2nd October 2013. |
