EXCAVATION AND FIELDWORK IN WILTSHIRE 20062 303 
buildings. The West Barn was constructed in the 
late-18th century, incorporating part of the 
foundations of a larger building of medieval date 
identified and published in 1978 by Jeremy 
Haslam. The two building episodes were 
separated by several centuries, represented by 
sequences of limestone pavements and culverts 
that sealed the earlier building and were cut into 
by the 18th-century barn. See Heaton and Moffatt 
this volume. 
Broad Chalke 
Blick’s Yard (SU 257 038); Undated 
Monitoring of groundworks during the machine 
excavation of footings trenches for a new house was 
carried out by AC archaeology between April and 
May 2002. No archaeological features or deposits 
were present. 
Calne Without 
Water pipeline, Sandy Lane ST971 673; Romano- 
British 
A watching brief was undertaken during the laying 
of a replacement water pipeline to the north of the 
Roman settlement of Verlucio. Occasional sherds of 
Romano-British pottery and iron slag were 
recovered in the section of the pipeline route in 
fields north of the A3102 around $T97206734. 
Where the pipe trench was cut along the 
carriageway of the A3102 to the east of the entrance 
to Wans Cottage (around $T971673) a series of 
archaeological deposits was exposed and recorded. 
These included wall footings, a paved area, an 
undated ditch and occupation and demolition 
spreads. Pottery associated with these features is 
predominantly AD Ist to 2nd century in origin. A 
more detailed report is in preparation. 
Codford 
Kitchen Wing, East Codford Farm (ST 975 398); Post- 
medieval and Modern 
Observations and photographic recording by 
Michael Heaton of fabric affected by demolition 
and rebuilding of the kitchen wing of East Codford 
Farm were made during February 2002. Collation 
of the observations suggests that the part of the 
kitchen wing and the stack it enclosed represented 
an earlier 17th-century phase of the farmhouse 
building that had been largely destroyed by fire 
during the mid-20th century. 
Coombe Bissett 
St Michael and All Angels Church (SU 1080 
2635); Post-medieval and Modern 
A watching brief was maintained by AC 
archaeology during trenching for the laying of 
services across the north side of the churchyard. A 
total length of some 30m of hand-dug trench 
running to the north transept was observed, 
within which excavation encountered only 
redeposited and disturbed soils. Small quantities 
of post-medieval tile were noted immediately 
below the turfline, but no other dating evidence 
was recovered. Disarticulated human bone was 
present at one location, but was left at the base of 
the trench. The depth of the excavations (600mm) 
was insufficient to disturb any in situ burials, and 
no evidence concerning the construction and 
development of the church or any archaeological 
features was forthcoming. 
Crudwell 
Goldhill Quarry (ST 93700 92500) 
Wessex Archaeology carried out an archaeological 
evaluation of land at Goldhill Quarry in response to 
proposals for an extension to the existing quarry. 
The c. 1 ha was evaluated by means of four 
randomly located trenches, each 30m long and 1.8m 
wide and aligned generally east-west and north— 
south. No archaeological features, deposits or 
artefacts were recorded. 
Donhead St Andrew 
Old Wardour House (ST 9383 2622); Medieval 
An evaluation was carried out on the site of a 
proposed extension to Old Wardour House, in 
February 2002. The evaluation consisted of three 
machine-excavated trial pits located within the 
footprint of the proposed extension. These 
excavations generally revealed layers of 
redeposited soil and building rubble. One trial pit 
exposed the footings of an ashlar wall, possibly 
associated with an outbuilding to the south of the 
medieval stable block on the north east side of the 
house. Layers of clay visible in the sections of the 
other two trial pits may be part of general levelling 
up of the site for landscaping. No datable artefacts 
were recovered. 
Easton Grey 
Whatley Manor Hotel (ST 8975 8715); Undated 
A watching brief undertaken by Cotswold 
Archaeology during groundworks associated with 
the development of a spa complex identified no 
features of archaeological interest other than an 
undated well.
