Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Wilton Estate to undertake an archaeological watching brief, as a condition of planning permission, during the conversion of an existing barn for residential development. The monitored works covered an area of approximately 25 x 48 m centred on NGR 408515 130787, at Burcombe Lane, Wilton, Wiltshire. The watching brief was carried out as a condition of planning permission, granted by Wiltshire Council (19/02857/FUL). While the site is located within the remains of South Ugford shrunken medieval settlement, throughout the watching brief only one archaeological feature was revealed. This was a small, shallow, undated posthole. The purpose of this posthole can only be speculated upon. It may be a modern posthole, or it may be part of a medieval structure. Within the barn and to the south, layers of made ground were encountered. This suggests that some degree of landscaping has taken place on the site as a result of this barn's construction. The absence of archaeological remains across most of the areas monitored suggests that this area was not densely occupied during the medieval period or that any archaeological remains have been subsequently landscaped away. It is also possible that the limited nature of this investigation means that archaeological features have been preserved in situ outside the scope of this watching brief.
