Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Savills on behalf of the Trustees of MALF Pitt Rivers and Sandroyd School, to undertake an archaeological field evaluation along a number of passing bays positioned adjacent to an access track within Rushmore Park, Tollard Royal, Wiltshire, located at National Grid Reference (NGR) 395632, 119060. A Desk-Based Assessment carried out by Wessex Archaeology in 2010 focused on a Study Area of 500m either side of the access track and identified numerous sites and find spots, ranging in date from the prehistoric to modern periods. In total 31 passing bays were proposed along approximately 4km of the access track and the Assistant County Archaeologist requested an archaeological evaluation of four of the passing bays, given the close proximity of known archaeological features. The archaeological evaluation consisted of four 15m x 2m trenches positioned in four of the passing bays (Nos. 4, 5, 7 and 20). Trench 1, located at Passing Bay 20 was not excavated as it was positioned under the canopy of a mature beech tree. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded in the remaining three trenches and no surface or topsoil finds were retrieved. |
