Abstract: |
Archaeological Surveys Ltd was commissioned by Swindon Borough Council to undertake a magnetometer survey of approximately 110ha to the east of Swindon. The survey assesses the archaeological potential of land for the proposed development of the New Eastern Villages Southern Connector Road. A number of enclosures, ditches and pits have been discovered that continues the defined limits of the Roman town at Wanborough for a further 300m to the south east beyond the scheduled boundary either side of the Roman road of Ermin Street. Also along the route are other groups of enclosures, ditches and pits relating to prehistoric and Roman settlement. To the north of Great Moor Leaze a building, enclosures, ditches, pits and ring ditches indicates occupation from the Iron Age to the late Roman periods. The enclosures associated with the Roman building continue to the east of The Marsh. |
