Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2017 at Land South of Victoria Road, Warminster, Wiltshire. Eight trenches were excavated. The evaluation confirmed that the results of the geophysical survey, which had indicated the presence of a number of linear's across site, were most likely geological in nature. A number of flints, and prehistoric, and Roman pottery, were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil during the course of the evaluation but these were residual in nature and are likely be to evidence of transient seasonal activity rather than settlement within the site. Where archaeology was encountered it consisted of a ditch and a posthole, with no associated features indicating that they were probably agricultural in nature. |
