Archaeological trial trenching evaluates site in Swindon, revealing no prehistoric or Romano-British remains.
Archaeological trial trenching to agreed WSI, following CIfA Standards and Guidance. 6 trenches in total. 5 x 30m x 1.8m and 1 x 22.8m x 1.8m. the evaluation did not reveal any remains that pertain to any Prehistoric activity or any Romano-British remains. The lack of any prehistoric evidence on the site suggests that the Iron Age settlement recorded to the southwest in 2005 (cotswold Archaeology 2005) does simply not extend to the site that far northeast. This lack of evidence also supports the geophysics results done in December 2022 (SUMO 2022). Even though no significant archaeological features were observed, two large pits with modern debris and one land drain were recorded.
