Abstract: |
A watching brief maintained on a housing development on land adjacent to 15 Butterfield Drive, Amesbury. Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Midsummer Homes Limited to undertake an archaeological watching brief at land adjacent to 15 Butterfield Drive, Amesbury, Wiltshire SP4 7WJ, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) SU 16787 41334. The watching brief was intermittently conducted between the 18th of May 2015 and the 26th of August 2015. The excavation of the footings revealed three ditches and a partially exposed possible pit. Two of the ditches appeared to be continuations of features that were previously recorded during the Butterfield Down excavations. One of the ditches appeared to respect the alignment of the Earls Down Farm linear and is likely to be associated; it contained two pieces of struck flint and so is likely to date to the prehistoric period. A second ditch contained two pieces of pottery and dated to the later prehistoric period, possibly the Early Iron Age. A third ditch and possible pit remained undated. |
