Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2016 at Parcels 8 and 9b south of Paxcroft Mead, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. The excavation area was located in the north east corner of the site targeted on Roman features identified in a previous evaluation of the site. The majority of the excavation area was shown to be devoid of archaeological features, but this negative evidence is in important in being able to define the extent of Roman activity, which has been identified to the east of the site. The excavation confirmed that within the southern corner of the mitigation area the very western extent of 2nd to 4th century Roman enclosure identified in an evaluation to the east was present within the site. A pit dating to the Roman period was recorded and contained dumped material suggestive of nearby industrial activity, although the environmental evidence suggests the activity was more domestic in origin. A north-east to south-west aligned ditch was recorded that forms part of and is the terminal end of the western side of a Roman enclosure which lies almost wholly within the adjacent area to the east. The terminal end of the ditch would appear to correspond and correlate to a ditch terminus identified on the geophysical survey of the adjacent site which forms part of the eastern extent of the enclosure. This would appear to suggest that the enclosure would have been open-ended along its southern edge.
