Abstract:		 In November 2011, an archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Northamptonshire Archaeology, on behalf of Prospect Archaeology, on land at Avon Mills, Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The evaluation largely proved the veracity of the geophysical survey results with the excavation of a number of late Iron Age/early Romano-British ditches and pits and post-medieval field boundaries. A possible small settlement originated in the late Iron Age and appears to have been defined by one or more rectangular enclosures. The activity is concentrated at the southern end of the site; towards the centre there were a few ditches which may be the remnants of an associated field system. There was no activity of this date at the northern end of the field. There was activity at the site through into the Roman period although it appears to have been abandoned by the end of the 2nd century. There were a number of ditches that dated to the post-medieval period which may be former field boundaries. A trade token dated to 1651 was found in the base of one of the ditches.
