Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by AEE Renewables UK 24 Limited (The Client) to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation on Land at Hurlingpot Farm, Shepton Mallet, Somerset. The Client is proposing to submit a planning application for the construction of a Solar Farm across the c.14 hectare Site. The evaluation identified a Bronze Age landscape which appeared to be centred on a square ditched enclosure located in the south of the site with a contemporary north-east to south-west aligned rectilinear field system extending to the north. It is likely that further linear geophysical anomalies which aligned north-east to south-west relate to this Bronze Age field system. Other activity identified as dating to this period of may be represented by an isolated large pit/possible waterhole and a curvilinear ditch present in the north-east of the Site. Trenches 12 to 14 had been located to target what was thought to be prior to excavation, evidence of a field system in the form of ditches that possibly dated to the Bronze Age, and to be associated with the identified enclosure. Excavation within Trenches 12 and 13 revealed the feature to be a c. 3m+ deep void/natural fissure in the geology.
