Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by WSP Environmental to undertake a watching brief during geotechnical investigations on land south of St Stephen's Place, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. Fragments of wall footings thought to be associated with 19th century mill buildings were recorded in two of the test-pits in the centre and west of the Site and may relate to structures associated with the Upper and Victorian Mill complex (English Heritage Building ID's 313891, 313892 and 313893). Alluvial clay deposits indicative of a heavy, damp environment were recorded across the southern and western part of the Site with slightly drier Oxford clays to the north and Limestone brash to the south-east. No further evidence of archaeological features, deposits or finds were observed within the test-pits or the associated excavated material. The inclusion of occasional brick fragments within a layer of re-deposited clay supports documentary evidence which suggests that the area was levelled prior to the construction of mill/factory buildings during the 19th century. A layer of black industrial debris containing both 19th and 20th century material was levelled after the demolition of the mill buildings at the end of the 20th century and a gravel sub-base formation layer was laid in preparation for the construction of a supermarket and associated car-park. The supermarket was subsequently demolished and the site left vacant.
