Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 19 trenches, each measuring 25m in length and 1.8m in width. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site. In March 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land to the south of Church Lane, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. A total of 19 trenches were excavated. Three ditches, corresponding to linear anomalies identified during a preceding geophysical survey and postulated watermeadow features previously recorded in the Historic Environment Record, were identified in the central parts of the site. A single sherd of highly abraded medieval (13th to 16th-century) pottery was recovered from the fill of one of these ditches. The function of these ditches remains unclear, although they are considered most likely to represent former field boundaries as it was noted during fieldwork that the site lies on an appreciable slope, thus making it seemingly unsuitable for use as a watermeadow. Two undated pits and an undated gully were identified in trenches excavated in the south-western parts of the site. The precise function of these features remains unclear but the absence of artefactual and faunal material within the fills of these features suggest that they lay at an appreciable distance from any areas of former settlement, and they are therefore most likely to have been associated with small-scale agricultural activity.
