Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by WYG Management Services to carry out an archaeological watching brief during construction works on land at Delta East Crossing centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 01520 51968. The mitigation formed part of a wider scheme of archaeological work undertaken as part of the Eastern Infrastructure Project and Delta Track West project. The archaeological watching brief was undertaken between the 20th and 29th of July 2012. An earlier programme of strip, map and record excavation in advance of construction of Delta Track West was carried out in October and November 2011 and identified archaeological features dating from the Early Bronze Age to the modern period at the Delta Road Crossing on the A360. Archaeological watching briefs were therefore undertaken during subsequent construction work. The watching brief was maintained during groundwork associated with improvements to the track at the approach to Delta East crossing. The strip was generally c. 6m in width, and included the removal of topsoil deposits to the Upper Chalk natural geology. The groundwork was undertaken by a 360º mechanical excavated equipped with a toothless grading bucket under constant archaeological supervision. Several test pits and the route of a shuttle lane associated with the trackway crossing and areas of the trackway itself were monitored during the watching brief. No archaeological deposits or features were noted during the course of the works. The watching brief did identify two tree throws which were investigated but did not produce any anthropogenic material.
