Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by the site owner to undertake an archaeological watching brief during groundworks for the installation of a new swimming pool. The monitored works covered an area 12m by 7m, at The Manor, Upavon, SN9 6EB. The watching brief was carried out as a condition of planning permission, granted by Wiltshire Council, the Local Planning Authority (LPA) (20/05851/FUL), on 16th November 2020. No archaeological features or finds were encountered despite being in an area rich in multi-period remains. The stratigraphic evidence confirmed that the area of the swimming pool footprint was subject to significant alteration, not least the introduction of large amounts of topsoil material in the creation of a paddock for horses.
