Abstract:		 The excavation was divided into four areas which comprised a total of c. 685m2. Areas 1–3 targeted features identified during the evaluation and Area 4 was conducted as a watching brief during demolition of the former bus station buildings. The latter revealed no additional archaeological remains. An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in between March and September 2016 at Salisbury Bus Station, Salisbury, Wiltshire. To facilitate ongoing demolition works, the site was excavated in a number of phases. The site was divided into four areas for the purpose of the excavation. Three of the four areas (1-3) were targeted on features identified during a previous trial trench evaluation and across the footprint of the development area. The fourth area (Area 4) was conducted as a watching brief during the demolition of the bus station. The survival of archaeological remains was partial at best across the site, with post-medieval and modern truncation having heavily affected earlier deposits. The excavation confirmed the results of previous excavations within the Three Swans Chequer and of the evaluation by identifying the partial remains of 13th and 14th century buildings, which front onto Endless Street to the west, and post-medieval buildings along both Rolleston and Endless Street frontages. As observed elsewhere in the city, parts of the site seems to have been raised in the medieval period by importing clays and gravels in order to alleviate the risk of flooding. The central part of the chequer appears to have been used as backlands and was occupied, as found in many parts of Salisbury, by open yard areas and ancillary structures. A possible post-medieval iron smithing workshop was uncovered close to the frontage of Rollestone Street which pre-dated the construction of 18th century buildings along this street frontage.
