Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake an archaeological field evaluation in advance of proposed development of land for residential use to the west of Salisbury Road, Marlborough, Wiltshire. Fifteen machine dug trenches were excavated between to examine a number of anomalies identified using geophysics and to document and assess the risk to buried archaeological deposits on other parts of the Site. The results of the project have demonstrated that archaeological features and deposits, in variable density, survive in the north and south of the site, with a notable concentration to the south. A Late Neolithic pit containing Grooved Ware pottery was preserved beneath the valley colluvium. Evaluation confirmed the presence of a cluster of Iron Age pits, with ditches, that was identified by magnetic survey. |
