Abstract: |
Archaeological field evaluation, via trial trenching, was undertaken by Headland Archaeolo-gy on Land South of Netherhampton Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire, following geophysical survey of the site which had identified the potential for extensive archaeological remains. The investigation revealed evidence of twelve ring-ditches dating between the early to later Bronze Age and representing the remains of former barrows. An inhumation of an infant da-ting to the Beaker period was also excavated. Disarticulated human bone was also recovered from plough-soils. An Iron Age enclosure, defined by a large ditch was identified, to the inte-rior of which were complex phases of intercutting pits and partially exposed remains of a possible roundhouse. A small 'D' shaped enclosure was also identified with the remains sug-gesting a probable circular structure to its interior, with a neo-natal burial recovered from the enclosing ditch. Artefacts from associated features indicated probable domestic occupa-tion. Large field ditches or land division of Bronze Age date were identified along with later agri-cultural land division and field parcels. Extensive evidence of medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity was also present in the form of ridge and furrow remains and field boundaries. |
