Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Ltd., acting on behalf of Richborough Estates, to undertake a programme of archaeological evaluation of an approximate 6.2 ha plot of land on Castle Street, on the west side of Mere, Wiltshire (centred on NGR 380478 132114). This work was commissioned in response to a condition attached to an Outline Planning Application for the proposed development of 130 dwellings and associated supporting infrastructure. Following submission of desk-based assessment and geophysical survey reports to the Local Planning Authority, Clare King of Wiltshire Council Archaeology Service recommended a programme of trial trenching to be carried out prior to determination of the planning application. The fieldwork consisted of the machine excavation of twelve evaluation trenches, targeted on a variety of anomalies identified during the earlier phase of geophysical survey. The twelve trenches represent a 2% sample of the proposed development area.
