Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Amesbury PCC (hereafter 'the Client') to carry out a programme of archaeological evaluation for a proposed residential development on land currently occupied by Melor Hall, Church Street, Amesbury, Wiltshire, centred on OS National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 15280 41450 (hereafter 'the Site'). The Site is approximately 0.08ha and is currently occupied by the temporary structure known as Melor Hall which is proposed for demolition and a shingled area of associated car-parking to the front and a roughed grassed area to the rear. It is situated on Church Street to the west of Amesbury town centre. The Site is bounded to the north by grounds associated with Amesbury Abbey, to the east by a public car park, to the west by the Old Vicarage associated and to the south by Church Street. Three evaluation trenches were excavated. The evaluation revealed that below a thick deposit of garden soil there was evidence for medieval and post-medieval archaeology. In particular there is evidence for the existence of post-medieval pits and levelling at the front of the Site. This is indicative of backyard activity most probably related to buildings, originating in the medieval period, that used to face on to Church Street up to the middle of the 19th century. At the rear of the Site there is evidence for the existence of two intercutting boundary (burgage plot) ditches with the earliest ditch dating to the medieval period. The evaluation was carried out on the 10th and 11th March 2011.
