Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Aspire Defence Capital Works to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Swinton Barracks, Perham Down Garrison, Perham Down, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference 425876 148972. The fieldwork was required by the Assistant County Archaeologist following the submission of a planning application (13/03328/FUL) for two new three storey 40 bed Junior Ranks accommodation blocks and associated infrastructure, along with the relocation of an existing car park. The evaluation consisted of the mechanical excavation of four trenches measuring between 10m to 20m in length and situated in two areas of the camp. The evaluation was carried out on the 14th to the 15th October 2013. Although the natural chalk geology was exposed in all four trenches, there were indications that it had been truncated and disturbed, likely by former building work. The most northerly trench also encountered a significant depth of made ground deposits. The continuation of a presumed prehistoric ditch recorded on the Wiltshire Historic Environment Record and known from previous evaluation trenching within the camp and extant remains (Scheduled Monument number 1009833) to the south was located in one of the southern trenches, though it was substantially truncated. Although a slot was excavated through the feature, it remained undated during this work. Brick walls located in the adjacent trench are thought to be the remains of a guardhouse shown on OS maps from the 1930s to the 1970s.
