Land near Crockerton, Warminster, Wiltshire: Results of Archaeological Monitoring and Recording

Archaeological monitoring and recording was undertaken during groundworks associated with the replacement of a new water main pipeline at Crockerton in Wiltshire. The replacement pipe used directional drilling along much of the route, which crosses under the River Wyle and the surrounding flood plain. Archaeological mitigation, including earthwork survey of relict water meadow earthworks features was required for the open-cut portions of the schemes.
