Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by UK Power Networks Services to maintain an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with an underground electricity cable link between the existing Strangways Ministry of Defence electricity substation on Fargo Road, to Robert Barracks, Larkhill Camp, Wiltshire. Part of the Scheme is located within the Stonehenge, Avebury and Associated Sites World Heritage Site and consultation with Wiltshire Council Archaeology Service and Historic England confirmed that given the archaeological potential, an archaeological watching brief was required during all trenching works. The watching brief revealed a wealth of features dating to the first half of the 20th century relating to previous military activity in the area, which highlight the important role this area had in the preparations for World War One and beyond. The remains of the early Larkhill garrison church constructed during 1915, the remains of the former light military railway and several military practice trenches are the most notable military features identified during the watching brief. A lynchet at the southern end of the Scheme was revealed which may relate to a late Prehistoric or Romano-British field system. However aside from this, no archaeological remains predating the 20th century were observed during the fieldwork.
