Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Mr Huw Morgan to carry out a trial trench investigation and test pit on land at 46 Wilton Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire. This evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a single dwelling with associated groundworks. The work was carried out as part of a pre-application mitigation (pre-application reference number 15/02506PREAPP). The Site is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 13276 30535. The fieldwork was undertaken on the 20th of August 2015. The evaluation comprised of the machine excavation of one 8 m by 2 m trial trench and one 2 m by 2 m test pit. The trial trench established the presence of brickearth and the presence of quarry pits in the brickearth. The test pit established the depth and nature of the brickearth deposits supporting and supplementing earlier archaeological evaluation and geotechnical survey results in the vicinity of the Site. These have previously demonstrated that brickearth deposits still survive despite being heavily impacted by post-medieval quarrying, probably in the 19th century. No archaeological features of deposits of note were recorded that pre-date the post-medieval period. A small assemblage of residual finds was recorded from the backfill in the quarry pits. |
