Abstract: |
SLR Consulting Limited was instructed by Hollins Strategic Land (hereinafter referred to as the Client) to provide an Archaeological Field Evaluation in support of a planning application for residential housing. The evaluation was undertaken across two fields ('the Site') located off Restrop Road, Purton Wiltshire SN5 4BB. The results of trial trenching suggest that archaeological features are absent from the great majority of the site. Despite the evidence for Romano-British burial practice from the walled cemetery located c.50m to the immediate north-east of the site, no further burials were recorded across the evaluation area. In addition, the limited nature of finds and cut features across the site indicate the area was probably on the margin of settlement and that historically ploughing has truncated and disturbed what few features were once present. centred on National Grid Reference 408351 187193 |
