Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by PDP Green Consulting on behalf of their Client Selwood Housing Society Ltd. to undertake an archaeological evaluation on land to the south-west of West Farm, Knook, Wiltshire (NGR ST 93930 42047). The evaluation was designed to inform a planning application for a new sewage treatment plant, a service pipe and drainage system located within the western edge of playing fields, just to the south of the A36. The evaluation was undertaken on the 9th May 2013. Within the three excavated trenches, no archaeological features were found in the northernmost trench, although a single ditch was found in the central trench and another ditch, two postholes and another feature within the southernmost trench. Although the excavated trenches form a relatively low sample, the results do indicate a high potential for further archaeological remains relating to the known medieval settlement, with the likelihood of a much higher density within the southern half of the proposed site. |
