Abstract:
A watching brief was carried out during groundworks for an extension to a 20th century house which lay 10m to the north of Chisbury Iron Age Hillfort, a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SM 26709). Iron Age and Roman artefacts had been found in the surrounding area, and undated field systems were visible on aerial photographs. The village of Chisbury had medieval origins. During the watching brief, no archaeological features were observed, and only modern finds were recovered. It was concluded that construction of the house and associated service trenches had probably destroyed any archaeological remains in the immediate vicinity. [Au(adp)]
