Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was appointed by QinetiQ to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of two arrestor cable assemblages and a topsoil storage area at Boscombe Down Airfield, centred on NGR SU 17202 39335. The fieldwork was carried out between the 14th and 27th September 2011. The watching brief monitored the machine excavation of two large areas to the top of the natural chalk and eight 1m deep test pits adjacent to the taxiway. Observation during the fieldwork has shown that whilst the spoil storage area to the northwest of the runway was relatively undisturbed by modern airfield activity, the area of the taxiway, in particular the northern portion, had been extensively raised by between approximately 0.60m to 1.60m using made ground deposits. No archaeological features or deposits were recorded during this watching brief. However, the results of the watching brief have demonstrated that there is the potential for the survival of the archaeological features and deposits at a relatively shallow depth within the general area to the northwest of the taxiway. Within the line of the western runway the potential for deeply buried archaeological features or deposits is present, but there was no visible evidence which would indicate what level of truncation may have taken place prior to the raising of ground levels.
