Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by SSE Power Distribution to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of an electricity cable from Shaw Lodge to Knapp Cottage on the southern edge of the Marlborough Downs, Wiltshire running from National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 12766 65280 to SU 11836 64132. An existing road bisects the Wansdyke (list entry 1004719) at the northern end of the route. Consultation between the County Archaeologist and Inspector of Monuments at English Heritage confirmed that Scheduled Monument was not required, but given the high archaeological potential an archaeological watching brief should be maintained during all open cut trenching. No archaeological features, deposits or artefacts were encountered during the excavations. This was partly due to the substantial colluvial deposits noted within the valley, which may still overly any potential archaeology, and also the limited excavations necessary for the cable installation itself. The watching brief was carried out intermittently between the 17th January and 10th February 2014. |
