Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by DPDS Consulting Group on behalf of Primegate Properties (Blunsdon) Ltd, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation prior to submission of a planning application for development of land at Kingsdown, Swindon centred on National Grid Reference SU 16140 89172. The results of this survey will contribute to the production of an Environmental Statement to accompany the planning application for residential development within the Site. A total of 88 evaluation trenches were machine excavated following a series of geophysical surveys undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in 2008 and 2009, which identified a number of anomalies on which the archaeological trenches were targeted. The evaluation confirmed a concentration of archaeological remains in the north eastern corner of the Site (Area 1) and corroborated the results of the geophysical surveys by revealing a possible henge, surrounded by a larger enclosure dating to Late Bronze Age. The remains of a Bronze Age inhumation burial and associated cremation burial were also identified to the west of Area 1 in Trench 4. Adjacent to the henge monument was a Romano-British ladder settlement, comprising a series of rectilinear fields or paddocks delineated by large boundary ditches attached to a square settlement enclosure. Pottery dating from the mid 2nd century to 4th century AD was recovered from the boundary ditches confirming activity in this area during the middle to late Romano-British period. The evaluation was carried out from 7th - 23rd December 2009 and the 4th - 22nd January 2010
