Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mendip Solar Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at Shooters Bottom Farm, Chewton Mendip, Somerset. The works are required to inform the proposed installation of a solar farm at the above site, including installation of solar panels, associated utility/ service trenches and construction of access routes. Following recommendations by the Senior Historic Environment Officer, Somerset County Council, an archaeological evaluation was carried out to assess the potential for surviving below ground remains in order to inform the proposals and consequently any decision with regards to the future treatment of the archaeological resource. The evaluation trenches were sited in strategic positions where the results of an archaeological desk-based assessment and geophysical survey suggest there is potential for the survival of archaeological remains (Cotswold Archaeology 2011). No archaeological features were recorded during the course of the evaluation and the geophysical anomalies were proven to be the result of variations in the underlying natural geology. Two worked flints were recovered from the topsoil in Trench 4, to the south-east of the Site, possibly indicating a low-level background of prehistoric activity in the area.
