Abstract:		 Report on Archaeological Evaluation at Box House, Box, Wiltshire, on the site of propose buildings within its grounds. A large Roman villa complex lies to the north-east of the proposed development. Two of the proposed areas of development, around the pool and the lawn to the north of Box House, sit within its boundaries. In total, eight trial trenches were opened, located in the area of the pool terrace to the north-east of Box House, on the lawn between Box House and an outbuilding known as the Coach House, and on the garden terraces to the north of the lawn. Most of the trenches contained residual ceramic material from the Romano-British period. Trenches 4 and 5, on the lawn, contained Romano-British structural material related to building collapse, and a possible surface; both of which included Pennant stone roof tiles, almost certainly Romano-British. In Trench 7, at the base of the garden terrace, a shallow linear feature containing abraded Romano-British ceramics was recorded. The trenches in the pool area revealed deposits and structures of post-medieval date; however, a stone dump containing medieval ceramics was observed in Trenches 1 and 2 and an undated mortar surface was identified in Trench 3. Trenches 6 and 8, on the garden terrace, contained no in situ archaeological remains earlier than the 19th century and were highly truncated. The surface of the Romano-British archaeology was sealed below a substantial depth of modern overburden; up to 1.36m in the lawn area.
