Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Pipefix Ltd, on behalf of Selwood Housing Society Ltd to undertake archaeological mitigation works during groundworks in association with a new sewage treatment plant on land located on the south west of West Farm, Knook, Wiltshire. The site is centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 393962 142026. The archaeological mitigation was carried out in the form of a watching brief and comprised the archaeological monitoring of several drainage trenches for a proposed drainage field, excavation of an area to locate a new pumping station and septic tank, and trenches to connect the works to adjacent properties. The works were undertaken in association with planning application 17/03868/FUL. The programme of work was carried out intermittently between the 30th August and the 4th September 2018. One pit was uncovered in the southern end of the site and one north-east to south-west orientated ditch was identified in the centre of the site. The ditch was observed in three trenches and is the same feature as that observed in an earlier phase of archaeological works, during the archaeological trial trench evaluation of the site. The pit contained medieval coarseware pottery and one invention through the ditch revealed a single sherd of medieval pot. A second intervention through the ditch revealed animal bone fragments but no dating evidence. The two archaeological features are most likely medieval and relate to the shrunken medieval settlement which lies directly to the south of the site.
