Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by Wiltshire Council, to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land north of Melksham Community Oak School, Bath Road, Melksham, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 392100 162910. A planning application (13/06739/FUL) for the provision of new football and rugby facilities has been submitted to Wiltshire Council. The application included the results of an archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and geophysical survey, which had indicated a medium to high potential for archaeological remains of medieval and Roman-British date to survive within the development area. The Assistant County Archaeologist recommended an archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken to assess the archaeological potential of the site prior to the determination of the application. The archaeological evaluation consisted of the machine excavation of 17 trenches each measuring 30m in length by 2m wide, and targeted over anomalies identified in the geophysical survey. Although the majority of the trenches did not contain any archaeological remains, Trench 9 identified a cluster of archaeological features indicative of a small Romano-British farmstead. Linear ditches, gullies, pits and/or postholes were investigated, and both roofing and box flue tile allude to a high status Roman building in the immediate vicinity.
