Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Relph Ross Architects to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the rear of the former Greyhound Public House, Amesbury, Wiltshire centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 15663 41434. A planning application (14/01413/FUL) has been submitted to Wiltshire Council for the conversion of the former Public House into three residential properties, the construction of three houses at the rear of the existing building, and associated landscaping and parking provision. The Wiltshire Assistant County Archaeologist, recommended an archaeological evaluation was undertaken ahead of the determination of the planning application to assess the archaeological potential of the site. A trench, 15m long and aligned approximately E-W, was excavated across the proposed footprint of units 4-6. The excavation demonstrated that archaeological features were present on the site. These features included two pits and a shallow ditch, aligned N-S, which cut through one of the pits. Dating of the features was determined by a small number of sherds of 12th-14th century pottery. |
