Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Southern Electric Power Distribution, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the installation of an electricity cable on land in the centre of the village of Broad Chalke, Wiltshire (NGR SU 03945 25535 to SU 04050 25571). The cable lay within an area of known earthworks possibly relating to earlier settlement activity, as a result the Wiltshire Assistant County Archaeologist had advised an archaeological watching brief was maintained during construction. Though extant earthwork features were visible within the Site, little further information on their nature and date was gained during the course of this watching brief. A section through one of the features confirmed that the banks were constructed from mixture of re-deposited topsoil and disturbed chalk but no dating evidence or traces of settlement activity were present. A single undated pit or linear feature was observed within the central part of the cable trench. Due to the narrow confines of the trench the exact form and nature of the feature was unclear though the loose and humic fill was suggestive of a recent feature. The watching brief was undertaken between the 16th and 17th of October 2014.
