Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between April and May 2015 on land at Land at South Marston and Rowborough, Swindon, Wiltshire. Twenty-eight trenches were excavated. Archaeological deposits spanning the later prehistoric, early Roman, medieval and post-medieval/modern periods were identified. These included Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age ring ditches, a Bronze Age palisaded enclosure and a nearby burnt mound, Middle to Late Iron Age and early Roman settlement activity, a possible early Roman trackway and medieval paddocks and field systems, with later water management features. In addition, a number of residual lithic finds dating to the Mesolithic or Early Neolithic periods was found residually in later contexts. |
