Abstract:
The Hungerford Common project involved the transcription, interpretation and recording of all archaeological features visible on aerial photographs for two areas of common land in Hungerford, Hungerford Common (also known as Hungerford Port Down) and Freeman's Marsh. A contextual area surrounding the common land was also surveyed. The survey took place between February and August 2005 and was part of the Urban Commons Project which involved field investigation and survey of a representative sample of urban common land across England. Significant archaeological features recorded from the aerial photographs included the probable remains of a prehistoric or Roman field system, as well as later land improvement and landscaping, on Hungerford Common, terracing on Freeman's Marsh and extensive quarrying in both areas. In the environs of the commons extensive post medieval water meadows were surveyed and numerous structures relating to the Second World War Kennet and Avon stop line were recorded.
