Abstract: |
essex Archaeology was commissioned by RPS Consulting to undertake an archaeological evaluation on a c. 750 m² parcel of land located at Salisbury Lodge, Cholderton Road, Wilbury, Newton Tony, SP4 0HW, centred on NGR 421645 141775. The evaluation was undertaken to inform a planning application for the redevelopment of the site. A scheduled monument 'Wilbury House round barrow' lies immediately to the east of the development area, and the main aim of the evaluation was to determine if any archaeological features associated with the barrow extend into the site. The evaluation consisted of two trenches. The original planned trench 1 measures 20m in length and 1.6m wide. At its north eastern end a north -south aligned ditch was encountered. No finds were recovered. A second trench measuring 7.35m in length and 1.6m wide was excavated 6 meters to the south along the projected route of the ditch, to confirm it was not associated with the scheduled barrow and confirm its orientation. Again, no finds were present, but it did confirm the direction and orientation of the ditch and demonstrate its association with a low bank running of the same orientation. It is likely that the ditch and bank are associated with the landscaping within the grounds of Wilbury House during the 18th and 19th centuries, more specifically the network of tracks and pathways running through the woodland in this area of the grounds. The ditch and bank are probably the demarcation and drainage along edge of one of these. The evaluation did not reveal any archaeology associated with the 'Wilbury House round barrow'. |
