| Abstract: |
This document, prepared on behalf of the English Heritage Trust, presents the results of an archaeological watching brief undertaken during initial groundworks for an extension to the existing coach park on land at Airman's Corner, Winterbourne Stoke, Wiltshire, centred on NGR 409950 143000. The watching brief follows on from a previous geophysical survey undertaken as part of the Stonehenge Environmental Improvements Project (SEIP), and subsequent archaeological evaluations. The groundworks offered limited opportunity to observe and record any buried archaeological remains that might have been present. Topsoil was retained in situ over much of the west side of the site, and at a reduced level within the new coach park, turning circle and access road. The main areas of impact were trenches for the surface water drainage system, petrol interceptor tank and soakaway. Features identified and recorded include three tree-throw holes, modern soakaway pits and a modern linear feature. The results are consistent with the findings of the evaluation and suggest that the area is devoid of buried archaeology remains. |
