Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Persimmon Homes Wessex to undertake an archaeological watching brief on land south of Paxcroft Mead, Green Lane, Trowbridge, Wiltshire (NGR ST 87114 57329) prior to the construction of a residential development. An archaeological trial trench evaluation has previously been undertaken on the site which identified the remains of the later post-medieval Black Ball settlement (WA 2005). Based on the results of this fieldwork it was recommended that a watching brief should be undertaken on initial groundwork within a small area of the Site (c. 0.3ha) to further characterise and understand the nature of this activity. This watching brief identified a number of features thought to relate to the former 18th century settlement of Black Ball. This included the full footprint of the building previously identified in the evaluation as well as further possible wall bases in the northern part of the watching brief area relating to possible animal pens. A number of linear features were also identified which would appear to relate to the drainage of the site. In particular the arrangement of a central ditch with many perpendicular spurs seen in the central part of the site is reminiscent of drainage patterns seen on reclaimed land and water meadows. Outside the watching brief area a spread containing Roman pottery was also located
