Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 29 trenches: • 23no 50m x 1.8m trenches; and • 6no 25m x 1.8m trenches. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the proposed development footprint. In July and August 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation at the proposed Porr Slab Track Factory site, Trinidad Works, Wanstrow, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. A total of 29 trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded two pits, one of which contained a human cremation burial; this cremation was undated, but is likely to be prehistoric in origin. The other pit contained charcoal and burnt animal bone, probably representing domestic hearth waste; three prehistoric worked flints were recovered from this pit, although the unburnt nature of these flints might indicate that they were redeposited in a later feature. The evaluation also recorded a series of medieval/early post-medieval furrows.
