Digital Archive from an Archaeological Excavation at Melksham Campus, Melksham, Wiltshire, January to February 2021

This collection comprises site images, GIS data, databases and spreadsheets, and a document from an archaeological excavation at Melksham Campus, Melksham, Wiltshire. The works were carried out by Cotswold Archaeology between January and February 2021. The earliest remains comprised a few flints, amongst which a Mesolithic or Neolithic tool were datable. The earliest features were a few pits and postholes containing Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age pottery. Roman remains comprised enclosures, and a cremation. Two possible Anglo-Saxon sunken-featured buildings and a possible timber structure were also identified. Medieval remains at the site likely formed part of the manor farm and included paddocks which were then replaced by a ditched plot which included what was probably a raised floor granary. Post-medieval remains were sparse and likely suggest that the site formed part of an enclosed field by that time.
