Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Atkins on behalf of Wiltshire Council and Cricklade Town Council to undertake an archaeological watching brief during drainage work in the area of Long Close, Cricklade, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 09847 93812. The work comprised the archaeological monitoring of groundworks undertaken within the boundary of Scheduled Monument 1002997, designated as Cricklade town banks and was undertaken between the 9th March and 19th April 2015. No archaeological features were observed during the monitoring of the drainage ditch excavation. Romano-British pottery was recovered from the subsoil and from an intermittent deposit comprising levelled settlement debris, including angular limestone fragments, which was recorded adjacent to the eastern boundary of Long Close and which may derive from the demolition of the Anglo Saxon town bank. However no evidence of a town ditch was observed during the course of the watching brief. |
