Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation at the site formerly known as MoD Lyneham airfield, Bradenstoke, Wiltshire in advance of works to install a solar array. The findings include part of a typical rural Romano-British landscape which followed dispersed prehistoric activity. The early form of windmill fits well with the medieval setting, surrounded by strip farming, and situated close to a Priory and small settlement. Prehistoric evidence includes a few sherds of probable Bronze Age pottery and a minor (?middle) Iron Age settlement. There is evidence for early Romano-British formalisation of the landscape and associated features. A well-shaft probably had its origins in the early part of the period. Comprehensive re-apportionment of the landscape represented by a rectilinear field system, was probably undertaken and re-established during the mid Romano-British phase. A shift towards metalworking in the mid and late phases was discernible, though two grain dryers indicate that farming was still a major occupation into the late phase. Late Romano-British findings include a number of coins, at least one grave, and a pair of elongated pits - one containing a cache of pewter plates. Large spreads reminiscent of 'Dark Earth' were also recorded. Quarrying probably continued throughout the period, whilst the (?mid-late) Romano-British community chose buried their dead in graves dispersed across the landscape. The footprint of a medieval post-mill was situated on an area of higher ground.
