Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by WYG, on behalf of Defence Infrastructure Organisation, to undertake an archaeological evaluation of a 2.42hectare parcel of land located in Ludgershall, Wiltshire, SP11 9QE. The evaluation area is centred on NGR 425500 150600. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of 20 trenches which constituted a five percent sample of the site. Archaeological features were found in seven trenches. These remains are predominantly pits dating to the modern period, mostly containing rubbish left by military occupation of the site. In the south-eastern corner of site is found the remnants of a military trenching system. At this stage of investigation, it is impossible to determine whether these were dug as training trenches or were some form of defence for the military railway that runs along the southern edge of site. There were also two undated ditches which may represent former field boundaries. No evidence for buildings shown on the 1958 and 1960 Ordnance Survey maps was discovered, implying that these were temporary structures.
