Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Mr C. Boyd to carry out an archaeological watching brief during groundworks associated with the construction of extensions to the side and rear of The Wilderness, Winterbourne Dauntsey, Wiltshire, SP4 6ER, centred on National Grid Reference SU 17554 34827. The watching brief was undertaken on 13, 14 and 21 December 2016. The watching brief entailed the monitoring of groundwork and ground reduction, including excavations associated with new foundations, service runs and drainage works, through previously undisturbed soils. Despite being located within the historic core of Winterbourne Dauntsey and in close proximity to the medieval church, no archaeologically significant finds, features or deposits were encountered during the watching brief. However, evidence of earlier ground disturbance and possible truncation of the natural stratigraphic sequence was observed throughout the site. This was possibly the result of works associated with the construction of the existing property, and may account for the removal of any buried archaeological remains once present within the site. |
