Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by J.S. Bloor Homes Ltd (the Client) to undertake an Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation on Phase 3 land (Kings Gate), Boscombe Down, Amesbury, Wiltshire (National Grid Reference 416150 140130). The fieldwork was carried out as part of an Environmental Statement which is currently being prepared in support of a planning application for approximately 15ha of residential development (Phase 3: King's Gate (460 units) which is due to be made in early 2011. The evaluation was undertaken between November 2010 and January 2011. A total of ninety-nine trial trenches measuring on average 30m x 2m were sited to investigate the results of a recent geophysical survey and to provide an indication of the density of archaeological features across the proposed development area. The evaluation revealed targeted areas of archaeological activity dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Ages. |
