Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2017 on land off Oxford Road, Calne, Wiltshire. A total of eight trenches was excavated. A small pit/posthole containing a single sherd of pottery of broad Roman date was identified cutting the natural substrate in a trench excavated in the northern third of the site. A further single sherd of pottery of broad Roman date was recovered as a residual find from the surface of a furrow also identified in this trench. An undated posthole, identified cutting the natural substrate in the central part of the site, may equally be of Roman date due to the similarity in its form and fill characteristics. Evidence of agricultural practice, comprising the ploughed out remains of probable medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation, was identified in the northern and central parts of the site. Two ditches, one of which contained a single sherd of pottery of 12th to 14th-century date, were identified cutting the subsoil in the northern part of the site and also seemingly relate to agricultural land management, drainage or division. These ditches may be associated with parts of the identified ridge and furrow field system due to their broadly similar alignment.
