Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Atkins Heritage to undertake an archaeological watching brief at Salisbury Market Place, Salisbury, Wiltshire (NGR SU 14450 3000) during development works associated with the refurbishment of the Market Place. Planning consent (S/2012/1317) was granted by Wiltshire Council to refurbish and enhance the Market Place to include improvements to parking, lighting and drainage, surface improvements and landscaping, subject to a condition requiring a programme of archaeological works to be undertaken. The Assistant County Archaeologist at Wiltshire Council agreed that an archaeological watching brief, maintained during groundwork, would be sufficient to mitigate the impact of construction works on any archaeological remains. The watching brief followed an earlier watching brief undertaken during geotechnical works, which revealed an extensive sequence of modern surfaces, as well as made ground deposits and a wall of post-medieval date. The fieldwork in 2013 consisted of the monitoring of groundwork associated with the excavation of drainage trenches and the reduction of ground levels across virtually the entire Market Place prior to the laying of a new surface. The watching brief was undertaken at various times from mid-April to mid-September 2013. |
