Abstract:		 A total of 106 trenches were excavated, which comprised 103 trenches as originally proposed and an additional 3 contingency trenches. In June and July 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land adjacent to Minety Substation, Wiltshire. A total of 106 trenches were excavated, which comprised 101 trenches as originally proposed and an additional 5 contingency trenches required by Melanie Pomeroy-Kellinger, County Archaeologist for Wiltshire Council (WC) and archaeological advisor to WC. Thirteen ditches were identified across the site. Of these one ditch contained 77 sherds of Late Iron Age to Roman pottery. All of the other ditches identified during the evaluation are likely to relate to former field boundaries or drainage ditches, probably of post-medieval date. Located centrally within the site a cobbled trackway was identified with associated drainage ditches. Recovered from within these ditches were two sherds of post-medieval or modern pottery. This trackway is likely to relate to a small 19th century outfarm that previously occupied this area of site. Overall, there was good correlation between the locations of the archaeological features identified during the current works and the results of the preceding geophysical survey. A good number of the anomalies were demonstrated to be geological features or the results of drainage and ploughing, with only a few occasions where features were encountered in the current works that weren’t identified in the geophysical survey.
