Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Landmarc Support Services to carry out an archaeological watching brief during construction for a new track on land to the north of Netheravon Airfield, Defence Training Estates - Salisbury Plain (DTE SP) centred on National Grid Reference SU 16680 49925. The works were primarily associated with the relaying and improvement of an existing trackway located between Netheravon and Mile Ball copse. The trackway links the airfield to a marshalling/muster area at Mile Ball. The works also included the stripping of a marshalling/muster area and associated drainage improvements at Mile Ball. The work comprised the removal of the existing trackway surface on both the southern and northern side of the Haxton to Everleigh road, totalling c. 900m in length. The strip was generally c. 6m in width, and included the removal of topsoil and subsoil deposits to the Upper Chalk (clay with flints) natural geology. The works were machine excavated using a tracked 360º excavator employing a toothless ditching bucket under constant archaeological supervision. The stripping of the marshalling/muster area was conducted in a similar way, and measured at least c. 40 x 26m. A c. 30m drainage trench was also excavated in relation to these works. No archaeological deposits or features were noted during the course of the works. The watching brief did, however, identify the location of a soil-filled dry coombe on the southern side of the Haxton Road. Limited quantities of residual finds of burnt and worked flint were noted within the topsoil deposits, predominantly on the northern side of the Haxton Road. No deposits deemed suitable for environmental sampling were identified.
