Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the client, as a condition of planning permission, to undertake an archaeological watching brief during ground reduction in advance of piling operations to provide foundations for a new two storey home. The monitored works covered approximately 100 square metres, centred on NGR 425089 132785, at Triple Yews, Easton Common Hill, Middle Winterslow, Wiltshire. No archaeological significant features were observed during the course of the monitoring. An agricultural drain of likely post-medieval date and a modern soakaway seen, and no pre-modern finds were identified. Visibility of the machine stripped surface was good and it is considered very unlikely that any archaeological features were present. Although adjacent to the course of the Roman road between Old Sarum (Sorviodunum) and Winchester (Venta Belgarum), no evidence for an associated roadside ditch was seen. There might be several explanations: the ditch may lie beyond the limits of the site; or it may have been entirely truncated during previous terracing work; or perhaps, because of the relatively steep slope of the site, there never was a roadside to the south of the road in this area. |
