Abstract:		 A scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording took place during the excavations for a new solar park on land northwest of Bake Farm, Wiltshire. The site contains two cropmarks recorded on the Wiltshire Historic Environment Record. Both these circular features remain un-investigated, and may be evidence of Prehistoric barrows or roundhouses, or the result of more modern quarrying activity. There are a number of scheduled barrows in the surrounding area, and further cropmarks and revealed features of Bronze and Iron Age occupation and agriculture, but there are also post-medieval chalk pits shown on historic OS mapping. In addition, the field boundaries to the north, and running north-south through the site are identified as historic; the northern hedge line marks the Saxon/medieval parish boundary, and the hedge dividing the site appears on 18th century enclosure mapping of the area. The planning layout was designed to avoid the cropmark in the northwest field, but will still impact on the geophysical anomalies in this field and a second circular cropmark in the northeast field. The required archaeological mitigation was therefore for monitoring of all construction groundworks in the northern two fields, to ensure any remains encountered are identified and recorded.
