Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by J.S. Bloor Homes Ltd to undertake an additional archaeological trial trench evaluation within the Southmill Hill area, covering approximately 7.2ha, which forms a part of land referred to as the Phase 3 Land (Kings Gate), Boscombe Down, Amesbury, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference 416150 140130. In late 2011, the planning application was extended to include the formation of a number of new sport pitches within the Southmill Hill. A limited programme of additional trial trenching was required within the proposed playing fields and the proposed swale area, which was located outside previously investigated areas. A total of eleven trenches were excavated in the course of the fieldwork, measuring on average 20m x x1.8m. A single trench was excavated in the new swale area and ten trenches in the Southmill Hill area were targeted upon geophysical anomalies. No archaeological features were observed in the proposed swale area and in four trenches located to the south of the Southmill Hill settlement boundary. The archaeological evaluation carried across the Southmill Hill area has confirmed the presence of the enclosed Iron Age settlement, identified in the geophysical survey and on aerial photographs. The density of archaeological resource within the Site indicates that the settlement was subject to intensive, prolonged human occupation, which is thought to have spanned throughout the Iron Age.
