Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Lark Energy to undertake the archaeological evaluation of land at Hale Farm, adjacent to Boscombe Down Airfield, near Amesbury, Wiltshire, (centred on NGR 418300, 139150) in order to inform the planning application for a proposed installation of a 12MWp solar farm and associated infrastructure.The archaeological features and deposits uncovered within the trenches appear, to a large degree, to be closely related to the topography of the Site, with the dry valley being a clearly important landscape feature in the location, and preservation, of the archaeological features. A deep sequence of colluvium was identified within the dry valley and this possibly began to build-up from the Iron Age-Romano-British period onwards and may be associated with increased arable agriculture upslope. |
