Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the Environment Agency to undertake an archaeological watching brief and recording during development at Daslett Farm Hatches, Teffont, Wiltshire. The work is part of the River Avon Restoration Plan which is a strategic plan for the Hampshire Avon catchment area that aims to restore degraded river habitats throughout the catchment, to achieve targets under Habitats Directive and Water Framework Directive legislation. Works on the reaches have been appraised and designed by Black and Veatch in collaboration with local landowners and fishing clubs. The works this year, on the River Nadder at Daslett Farm Hatches, aim to help improve the physical structure of the river channel and to remove the need to operate the main hatches to maintain water levels upstream. In addition to these works, and at the request of the landowner, the works will also include the restoration of an old water meadow ditch and the excavation of an associated part-buried structure. Following consultation with the Wiltshire County Council Assistant Archaeologist (WCCAA), the structure had been identified as being of potential historic interest and possibly related to flood management. It was therefore deemed appropriate that an archaeological watching brief was undertaken during excavation to record and photograph it along with any associated artefacts. |
