Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August and September 2014 at Ashton Park, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Thirty-eight trenches were excavated. The earliest datable feature encountered consisted of a pit containing worked flint of possible Early Neolithic date. A concentration of Early Roman ditched enclosures, associated trackways/droveways and pits/postholes were encountered within the northern and central parts of the site. A small quantity of residual prehistoric flint was also recovered from Roman features. Evidence of medieval and/or later agricultural practice was identified across the site in the form of predominantly north-east/south-west and north-west/south-east-aligned plough furrows and associated post-medieval/early modern land drains. Post-medieval/early modern field boundaries were also noted, together with several undated features. |
