Abstract:		 Border Archaeology was instructed by Mr M. Stokes of Laing O'Rourke to carry out a programme of archaeological work in respect of a section of mains water pipeline extending from Ridge Hill Reservoir to Aconbury Reservoir along a section of trackway running along the E side of Aconbury Woods (from NGR SO 50895 33311 to SO 51016 32978) and approximately 350m E of the eastern extremity of Aconbury Camp Iron Age hillfort (DCWW/LOR scheme map refs W140-03 and 04). The specific aims of the archaeological programme of works, as detailed in the Written Scheme of Investigation devised by Border Archaeology, were as follows: 1) To identify the date, construction method and probable function of the principal bank situated on the SW side of the trackway by means of excavation and the scientific dating of deposits. 2) To produce a permanent record of the bank by means of earthwork survey and standard archaeological recording methods, as detailed in Border Archaeology's Field Recording Manual. 3) To establish whether the principal bank and the less substantial bank on the NE side of the track are linked by a ditch and, if so, to establish the depth and profile of the ditch. 4) To identify, if possible, the relationship between the principal bank and a flight of terraces running upslope from the rear of the bank towards Aconbury Camp. 5) To identify, if possible, evidence for potential Iron Age extra-mural activity associated with Aconbury Camp.
