Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Planning and Development acting on behalf of The Wave, (the Client), to undertake an archaeological evaluation and geoarchaeological borehole survey ahead of development on land at Washingpool Farm and Over Court Farm, Over, South Gloucestershire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 385130 182920. The fieldwork was undertaken on 17th to 21st March 2014. The archaeological trial trenching comprised the excavation of nine trenches ranging from 25m to 35m by 1.80m, which were targeted in the anomalies identified during a previous geophysical survey. In addition, 13 borehole sequences were taken across the proposed development area. The evaluation identified a number of ditches datable to the Romano-British period, suggesting a degree of occupation, settlement and utilisation of the landscape during the 2nd-4th centuries AD. Although no direct settlement evidence was recovered, a small number of coins may indicate a degree of activity within the vicinity of the Site. Archaeological features were found within eight of the trenches. A survey of 13 boreholes was also undertaken on the Site. The results indicate that mineralogenic esuarine/ salt marsh deposits of the upper and middle Wentlooge are represented in the lower areas of Site to the west and north. No peat deposits are present, and the deposits observed could fairly be said to be of low palaeoenvironmental potential. The deposits - in particular the middle Wentlooge deposits - may also have the potential to preserve waterlogged artefacts and features associated with salt marsh exploitation and water-use, such as fish traps, trackways, boats etc. The relatively high level of archaeological features encountered during the evaluation suggests that further mitigation may be required prior to the development of the Site.
