Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Upper Horsehall Hill Farm, Chisbury, comprising the construction of extensions and associated infrastructure to the pre-existing building, centred on NGR SU 26235 66770. The works consisted of monitoring the groundworks and landscaping associated with the construction and record any archaeology that was encountered. The work aimed to identify the date, extent, character, and preservation of the underlying archaeological remains, in particular the possible remains of a medieval settlement located immediately to the south of the pre-existing building. The fieldwork revealed a number of medieval and post-medieval ditches and discrete features located to the east of the pre-existing building. In addition four discrete features of unknown date were also indentified during the drainage ground works to the south-east. Three prehistoric worked flint flakes were also recovered but were residual. In summary, the archaeology of the site comprises land division ditches of medieval date which were used throughout the period and fell out of use when the existing building was constructed, thus changing the function of the surrounding landscape. The fieldwork was carried out intermittently from the 15th of December 2010 to the 1st of April 2011. |
