Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Crossways Development Solutions Ltd on behalf of Kier Property to carry out an archaeological evaluation of land at Plot 73, Walworth Business Park, Andover Hampshire. The fieldwork consisted of the excavation of six trenches measuring 30m by 2m, located to test the results of a geophysical survey and previous excavation work undertaken at the site. The geophysical survey suggested the presence of two linear features and several other anomalies. A previously undertaken excavation at the Site in 1987 had dated one of these ditches to the post-medieval period and the second to the Bronze Age. These ditches also correspond to field boundaries shown on historic mapping. Three of the trenches contained no archaeological features. Trenches 2 and 3 identified a NE-SW aligned ditch, which is likely to be post medieval in date, and confirmed the results of the 1987 excavation. Trench 4 identified a NNW-SSE aligned ditch of a more substantial nature. The ditch contained no dating material, however, it is clearly the same ditch as identified during the 1987 excavation and based on that evidence could date to the Bronze Age period. Based on historic mapping the boundary quite clearly remained in use up until the modern period prior to the redevelopment of the area into the current business park. The ditch would therefore appear to represent an earlier possible Bronze Age boundary that remained fossilised in the landscape up until the modern period.
