306 THE WILTSHIRE ARCHAEOLOGICAL AND NATURAL HISTORY MAGAZINE 
Steeple Langford 
Corpus Christi Barn, Duck Street (SU 03740 37389); 
Modern 
A photographic, drawn and written description of a 
military heraldic device situated on the inner face 
of the south gable of Corpus Christi Barn was made 
by Michael Heaton prior to partial destruction of 
the feature during building conversion. The device 
— an inverted pyramid of 15 red bezants over the 
logo “ One and All” — was used by a Reserve 
Battalion of the Duke of Cornwall’s Light Infantry, 
one detachment of which was training at nearby 
Codford during the early years of World War I. 
Southwick 
Cutteridge Farm (ST 843 533); Romano-British 
Two evaluation trenches dug by Michael Heaton, 
representing 7% of the footprint of a proposed large 
country house adjacent to Cutteridge Farm at 
Southwick in West Wiltshire, revealed a shallow 
gully containing a sherd of Romano-British 
pottery and a fragmented human femur, sealed 
beneath artefactually sterile subsoils. The pottery 
and disarticulated human bone within it are 
considered to be residual material derived from 
earlier disturbances of Romano-British graves 
known to have existed approximately 100m north- 
west of the site. 
Swindon 
Great Western Railway Works, (SU 143 850); Post- 
medieval and Modern 
An archaeological assessment of the former GWR 
works was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology. 
Subsequent field evaluation, prior to redevelop- 
ment, revealed extensive and well-preserved 19th- 
and 20th-century structural remains including 
floors, footings and other below-ground remains of 
the 1847 Smiths Shops, the 1861 Rolling Mill and 
Central Boiler Station and the 1896 Points and 
Crossings Shop, Iron Store and Stamping Shop. 
While the truncated remains of these structures in 
isolation are not of particular archaeological value 
they do have significance by virtue of being 
intrinsic elements of the GWR site, the largest 
integrated railway works in Britain at the end of the 
19th century. 
Swindon 
Hreod Parkway School (SU 1285 8670); Iron Age 
In August 2003 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried 
out a field evaluation at Hreod Parkway School, 
North Swindon, on behalf of Swindon Borough 
Council. The evaluation followed an earlier phase 
of work at the same site carried out by OA in March 
2003. Five trenches measuring 50 m in length were 
opened in the course of the works, targeting 
anomalies identified by geophysical as being of 
archaeological significance. The evaluation 
revealed significant archaeological remains in one 
trench only, suggesting localised Iron Age activity 
in the form of postholes. An undated hollow was 
also recorded. The majority of the site exhibited 
extensive layers of imported soil, ‘made ground 
deposits’, of recent date. Ten abraded sherds of 
pottery were recovered from one postpipe, for 
which an early to middle Iron Age date is 
suggested. These will be held by Oxford 
Archaeology and will be deposited with Swindon 
Museum and Art Gallery in due course. 
Trowbridge 
The Conigre/Broad Street (ST 8540 5814); Medieval 
and Post-medieval 
An archaeological evaluation by Bristol and Region 
Archaeological Services at the Conigre and Broad 
Street in the centre of Trowbridge revealed a number 
of Lias limestone walls typical of the many 17th- and 
18th-century houses that covered the site until as 
recently as 1934. A number of these structures were 
traceable on the 1887 and 1937 Ordnance Survey 
plans. A significant amount of 11th- to 13th-century 
pottery was also recovered, associated with a linear 
feature that could perhaps represent a boundary 
ditch of the early medieval town. 
Trowbridge 
Ushers Brewery (ST 8550 5800); Medieval and Post- 
medieval 
In March 2002, an archaeological evaluation was 
undertaken by Bristol and Region Archaeological 
Services on land formerly owned by the Ushers 
Brewery. Work at the main brewery buildings on 
Manvers Street revealed no significant archaeology. 
However, excavations at the former bottling plant, 
to the north of Church Street, revealed a number of 
postholes and linear features associated with the 
expansion of the medieval town in the 12th century. 
The foundations of the 17th-century Conigre 
House were also identified. 
Urchfont 
Manor Farm (SU 0408 5715); 2 Late Neolithic/Bronze 
Age 
An evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold 
Archaeology. Two ditches and a gully were excavated
