Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation in advance of proposed development of the site in October 2016. This phase of work builds upon previous geophysical survey undertaken over the proposed development area in 2013 (Walls 2013). The site is comprised of a single field located to the north of Southampton Road in Petersfinger, on the eastern edge of the city of Salisbury. The site is located at a height of approximately 43m AOD, with the surrounding roads set around 1m higher. The site is largely flat with a single c.3m wide ditch running along its northern edge. It is in close proximity to sites of known archaeological potential with Anglo Saxon remains found to the north. The evaluation validated the geophysical survey results, showing that the site has suffered significant modern disturbance related to a site strip and subsequent creation of a compacted surface probably related to the construction of the modern road or nearby amenities. A single ditch was identified on the site, reflecting an historic water-meadow system. This ditch appears to have been extended at a later date, perhaps when the water-meadow was out of use to form a boundary. |
