Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) were commissioned by English Heritage to undertake an archaeological evaluation comprising 10 machine excavated trenches and 10 hand dug test pits on land to the north of the new Stonehenge Visitor Centre located at Airman’s Corner, Winterbourne Stoke, Wiltshire; centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 409950, 143000. A previous geophysical survey had been carried out in 2009 at the Site in relation to the Stonehenge Environmental Improvements Project (SEIP), and a subsequent archaeological evaluation in the same year was completed immediately to the south of the Site. As part of the SVEP (Stonehenge Visitor Enhancement Project), a planning application has been submitted to Wiltshire Council for the extension of the existing coach park. Consultation with the Archaeological Working Group (AWG), comprising representatives of Wiltshire Council, English Heritage and The National Trust, has established that the results of this archaeological field evaluation will be used to inform the determination of the planning application and any subsequent requirement for archaeological mitigation. No archaeological features or deposits were identified within the excavated trenches or test pits, although a small number of modern postholes and ditch features were uncovered. A number of tree throws and natural geological features were also uncovered and investigated, although no associated archaeological finds were recovered. A small assemblage of worked flint was recovered from seven of the ten test pits (a combined total of one core, 21 worked flakes and two broken flakes). The material was fairly evenly spread across the test pits with no significant concentration of material being evident and the results appear to represent a typical low-level background scattering of later Neolithic-Bronze Age (3000-1100BC) material. The results are similar to, and corroborate the previous results of, the 2009 trial trench and test pit evaluation, undertaken immediately to the west and south of the Site, both in the even spread and quantity of material per test pit of recovered material and the absence of any evidence for significant archaeological features.
