Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology commissioned by CgMs Consulting, on behalf of Barratt Homes, undertook an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation on land proposed for a housing development West of Trowbridge Road, Westbury, Wiltshire. The work was undertaken between the 9th and the 21st of February 2015. Previous investigations comprised geophysical survey (ASD 2013) and two phases of archaeological evaluation (HA 2013; WA 2014a). The second phase of evaluation (WA 2014a) encountered a number of land management features with no additional evidence of settlement activity within the Site. This when compared with the results of the prior evaluation and geophysical survey established that significant archaeological remains were located within two areas of nominally 750m² (Area 1) and 2,405m² (Area 2). These areas were the subject of the archaeological strip map and sample excavation. Areas 1 and 2 produced evidence of former ridge and furrow within the fields; as previously noted in the County Historic Environment Record as extant remains during a walkover survey in 1979, and subsequently recognised as below-ground features during both previous phases of evaluation. Two shallow ditches were discovered, one within each area, and both appearing to relate to relict post-medieval/ modern field boundaries. In total, both areas contained a further seven pit-like shallow discrete features, none of which contained any finds and were filled with relatively sterile fills largely devoid of anthropogenic indicators (and seeming of an alluvial origin). These features closely resembled many of the remains identified during the first phase of evaluation.
