Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Brooklet Developments Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation at Brooklet Farm, Over Street, Stapleford, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference SU 06774 37597. The site is proposed for the demolition of the existing farm buildings and the erection of three residential dwelling, including access, landscaping and associated works (Wiltshire Council Planning Application Ref: 15/08251/FUL). An archaeological Desk Based Assessment (Wessex Archaeology 2015) established that there is a potential for buried archaeological remains on the site. The Assistant County Archaeologist for Wiltshire Council recommended that an archaeological evaluation be undertaken and attached as a condition (Condition 4) to the planning permission for the redevelopment. Three evaluation trial trenches were excavated but no definite features of archaeological interest were revealed. A natural peat deposit was identified throughout Trench 2 which contained several prehistoric flint flakes and animal bone. The peat layer sealed an undated, linear feature, interpreted as a former water channel. Theoretically the peat layer could be prehistoric in date given the presence of the flint flakes, however it's stratigraphic relationship to the underlying water channel and the presence of the animal bone of the horse, suggest it is more likely to be later in date and that the flint finds are residual. The water channel could be a natural geological feature or relate to the documented system of water meadows associated with the River Till and Wylye in the near vicinity of likely post-medieval date.
