Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by David Parry to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with a new development proposal on land to the south of The Red House, 51 High Street, Durrington, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 15565 44762. The Site lies to the immediate south of Red House, a Grade II Listed Building located within the Durrington Conservation Area and is located within the archaeologically rich landscape of Salisbury Plain. The Site is less than 1km north of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site. The Site also lies within the medieval core of Durrington. Wessex Archaeology undertook a phased programme of archaeological excavation directly to the west at the former MOD Headquarters, prior to the site being developed for residential housing (WA 2012). The investigations revealed complex evidence spanning the post-glacial period to the post-medieval period. The archaeological watching brief however, revealed no archaeological features or finds pre-dating the post-medieval period. A single post-medieval rubbish pit was the only feature revealed during the groundworks |
