Title: Land North of Chippenham

Summary: Excavation Source ID: SWI31690

Additional Information: Cotswold Archaeology

Description: The excavation revealed Roman and medieval enclosures and ditches, most likely relating to livestock management on the River Avon floodplain. These remains are likely to have been on the periphery of Roman and medieval settlements. Roman occupation may lie within an area of the site preserved in situ, whilst medieval settlement is attested close to the site itself.
