Abstract: |
Report on Archaeological Evaluation at Land to the Rear of 47 and 49 Edward Street, Westbury, Wiltshire. The evaluation comprised the excavation of two archaeological trenches each measuring 7 x 2m. The trenches revealed a sequence of garden soil deposits, up to 0.8m deep, overlying the natural substrate. Garden soils also sealed post medieval brick structures, which most likely reflect garden walls. A single sherd of medieval pottery was found along with a small assemblage of mixed post medieval ceramics. The results would suggest that there are no buried buildings on the site, and that there was only limited activity in the medieval (the evaluation itself found no evidence from the medieval period period) and no evidence of prehistoric activity. Throughout the post- medieval period the evidence suggests that the site has been largely, if not solely, a garden. |
