Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Richard Meager of CgMs Consulting to undertake a trial trench evaluation ahead of land formation on land at Land to the north and west of Bishopdown Farm Salisbury Wiltshire Somerset, Riverdown Park, land parcels A1-A3 (centred on National Grid Reference 415111 132660). The work was carried out to the specifications set out in a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produces by CgMs and approved by Clare King, Assistant County Archaeologist for Wiltshire. The fieldwork was undertaken between the 5th and 14th October 2015. 5 post-holes were recorded in trenches 9, 10 and 11, which are believed to be the continuation of a prehistoric timber post avenue previously identified during the excavation to the south at Greentrees School, in 2015, and at land at Old Sarum, to the north, in 2006. This feature is as yet undated. At the Old Sarum excavation it was associated with a Wessex Linear double-ditched boundary, likely to be of Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age date, although no stratigraphic relationship was established. A further 4 post-holes and a curvilinear gully were recorded in trench 3, the form of which suggests a roundhouse with drip gully. Although no dating evidence was recovered, Trench 3 is in close proximity to the location of a further 3 roundhouses and a pit, identified in 2001/2, during works associated with the Old Sarum water pipeline. These were dated to the Late Bronze Age. The archaeology to the North West of the site has had a degree of truncation as a result of topsoil removal prior to soil storage. The Avenue postholes to the North of the site are well protected beneath compacted topsoil and a further 2 m of redeposited chalk.
