Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Landmarc Support Services to carry out an archaeological watching brief during the development of a new tank crossing on Somme Road to the east of Tidworth, Wiltshire centred on NGR SU 25560 49850. The groundworks included pre-construction ancillary works comprising the construction of a shuttle road to the west of the current Somme Road, and a series of catch-pits, soakaways and associated pipe trenches. The County Archaeology Service at Wiltshire Council advised an archaeological watching brief should be undertaken during the works due to the archaeological potential of the area. The site is located on land formerly occupied by a number of military barracks, namely Fowler Barracks to the west of Somme Road, and Busigny Barracks to the east and features associated with the former barracks were identified during the works. A former military road left in situ, represented by tarmacadam was noted in the centre of the proposed shuttle lane and a limited number of archaeological features were also recorded. A modern roadside ditch to the immediate west of Somme Road and a possible military fire practice trench (possibly a WWI forward firing bay) which may have been contemporary with the barracks were recorded. A possible tree-throw hole was also noted within a catch-pit.
