Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2010 on land off Broomcroft Road, Pewsey, Wiltshire. Six trenches were excavated. Subsequently an area of 600m2 in the north-eastern corner of the site was excavated. During the evaluation eleven pieces of worked flint were recovered. One was diagnostically Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic. As similar material had been recovered during a previous evaluation closer to Broomcroft Road, an excavation was carried out. Two hundred and eighty further fragments of worked flint were recovered during the excavation. This material included 32 cores (19 from the production of blades or bladelets) 122 flakes/broken flakes and 54 whole and broken blades/bladelets. Only a small number of pieces were retouched: one microlith, five scrapers, one re-touched/backed blade and two probable piercers. The microlith is characteristic of the Mesolithic and a scraper of the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age periods. A single ditch was also recorded from which one sherd of late prehistoric pottery was recovered along with further worked flint.
