Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the extension of an existing staff car parking area at The Great Western Hospital, Marlborough Road, Swindon, Wiltshire. Two pits, both of which contained pottery of late prehistoric date, were identified in the northern half of the development area. A group of four small pits/postholes, one of which contained a worked flint flake of prehistoric date, were identified in the south-western corner of the stripped area and may be associated with Middle Bronze Age settlement activity previously identified to the north-east. Three ditches, one of which contained a worked flint flake of prehistoric date, were partially exposed towards the south-eastern corner of the stripped area. The function of these features remains unclear. However, they are likely to relate to agricultural land management or division. |
