Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Bovis Lend Lease to undertake an archaeological field evaluation ahead of groundwork at the Canadian Estate, Bulford, Wiltshire, centred on National Grid Reference SU 17830 43585. Although large parts of the site were developed in the 1960s to house service families, areas of surface water drainage attenuation and strategic landscaping works were proposed to the north, east and west of the residential development, in undisturbed areas of the site and the Assistant County Archaeologist requested an evaluation to determine the archaeological potential of the site. Seven evaluation trenches were excavated in the three areas as part of a phased evaluation. The first phase, which consisted of four trenches to the north-west and south-east of the main site, was undertaken in March 2011. A further two trenches were excavated to the north-east of the main development site in January 2013. No archaeological features or deposits were encountered during the evaluation and it was established that areas to the south-west and north-east of the main development site, which were previously thought to have suffered little disturbance, had been built up and heavily disturbed, particularly to the north-east. |
