SUMMARY

Project Name: Hanger 76, Upavon Airfield Location: Upavon, Wiltshire NGR: SU 1561 5466 Type: Watching Brief Date: 11-18 October 2012 Planning Reference: E/2012/0181/FUL Location of Archive: To be deposited with the Wiltshire Heritage Museum Site Code: HUP12

An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the demolition and reconstruction of the south annexe to Hangar 76, Upavon Airfield.

A curving prehistoric ditch was identified containing struck flint flakes and re-cut by a ditch that contained a single sherd of Roman pottery and worked flint. Twentieth-century features were identified included a possible slit trench and a brick-built underground room. Undated features were represented by three small intercutting features.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 In October 2012 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for Gaiger Brothers Ltd at Hangar 76, Upavon Airfield, Upavon, Pewsey, Wiltshire (centred on NGR: SU 1561 5466; Fig. 1). The watching brief was undertaken to fulfil a condition attached to a planning consent granted by Wiltshire Council (WC) for the demolition and reconstruction of the south annexe to Hangar 76 (WC Planning ref: E/2012/0181/FUL). The objective of the watching brief was to record all archaeological remains exposed during the development.

1.2 The watching brief was carried out in accordance with a detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2012) and approved by Rachel Foster, Assistant County Archaeologist, WC. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for an archaeological watching brief (IfA 2008), the Statement of Standards and Practices Appropriate for Archaeological Fieldwork in Wiltshire (Wiltshire County Council 1995), and the Management of Archaeological Projects 2 (English Heritage 1991), the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (English Heritage 2006). It was monitored by Rachel Foster including a site visit on the 15 October.

The site

1.3 Upavon lies on Salisbury Plain near the source of the River Avon. The site is immediately south of Hangar 76, Upavon Airfield (Fig. 2). The site lies at approximately 176m AOD.

1.4 The development area encloses an area of approximately 0.1ha.

1.5 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Lewes Nodular Chalk Formation of the Cretaceous Period (BGS 2012). White Chalk was encountered across site.

Archaeological background

1.6 The mixed resources provided by the river and the downs have attracted settlement in the area since virtually the start of the Holocene period, and finds of Mesolithic

flints at the Scheduled Monument of Casterley Camp (National Monument Number 10037), to the south-west of the airfield, testify possibly sporadic, seasonal hunting. Neolithic and Bronze Age material, including an axe and arrowheads, was also recovered from Casterley Camp and a presumed Bronze Age tumulus is preserved c. 100m north-west of the development (National Monument Number 10278). A Bronze Age presumed enclosure is recorded on the south-eastern edge of Upavon camp (Wiltshire Historic Environment Record (WHER) Number SU15SE157). Casterley Camp, to the south-west of the development, was an Early Iron Age Hillfort that continued in use through to the Roman period. A circular enclosure with an appended rectangular enclosure, both enclosing and surrounded by pits, are recorded by geophysical survey within the airfield (c. 1km to the west of Hangar 76); their forms suggest Iron Age or Romano-British dates (MOD 2009, 19). Subsequent archaeological investigation by Wessex Archaeology in 2007 of the geophysical anomalies recorded features dated to the Neolithic and Bronze Age through to late Roman with the main focus of activity at the western end of the airfield (WA 2007). Romano-British coins and a cockerel broach have been found within the airfield. Two undated inhumations, extended, oriented east to west and with no grave goods, are known from Upavon Down (WHER Number SU15SE550). The village of Upavon is believed to have been an early Saxon development and in the Doomsday survey of 1086 the church and 2½ hides of land was held by the abbey of St Wandrille while the King held the principal estate. By the 14th century the village was a convenient and popular place for holding Royal inquests and King John and Edward I were visitors (WC 2012). By the 15th century the village had declined in prominence although continued to the 19th century as a small market town surrounded by a fairly prosperous farming community. An army firing range was established to the south- west of the village in 1898 and a few years later 425 acres of land were purchased to form the airfield. By 1912, the airfield was the home of the Central Flying School of the Royal Flying Corps. It retained this function through World War One and much of the interwar period with the exception of 1924-1935 when it was a Fleet Air Arm shore station. A further programme of rebuilding was underway by 1935. During World War Two the main function of the airfield was as a Flying Training School (for instructors). By 1944 the grass landing area had been supplemented with Sommerfeld Track steel mesh matting and had a range of hangars including Type A, C, L and Blister designs (the pre-war A and C types are extant). Post-War the airfield developed a transport role, and the Berlin airlift was planned from Upavon. The Royal Air Force station closed in 1993 and the airfield transferred to the army as Upavon Camp, Trenchard Lines (EH 2012). The first edition Ordnance Survey map

of 1886 shows the site as partly rough pasture and in 1900 it is mapped as agricultural land. Aircraft hangers are shown on the mapping of 1924, but not on the mapping of 1939. By 1975 these had been replaced by larger hangers. The history of Hangar 76 is unclear with no records readily available.

Methodology

1.7 The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2012). An archaeologist was present during intrusive ground works comprising the excavation of extension footings and new soakaways (Fig. 2).

1.8 Where archaeological deposits were encountered written, graphic and photographic records were compiled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (2007).

1.9 The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will be deposited with Wiltshire Heritage Museum along with the site archive. A summary of information from this project, set out within Appendix C will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain.

2. RESULTS (FIGS 3-6)

2.1 The natural geological substrate consisting of white chalk was revealed within the footings and soakways at an average depth of 0.4m below present ground level (bpgl). This was overlain by Type 1 gravel across the site, except for the far west and other small areas where topsoil and subsoil were still present.

Footings 2.2 An underground room 117, was recorded on the west of the site (Fig 4). The walls were made from alternating regular courses of headers and stretchers that consisted of frogged red London Brick Company (LBC) bricks. The walls were approximately 1.8m tall with the exception of the north-west corner that was 2.1m tall. The interior, being approximately 2.6m in length and 2.0m wide, was formed on a concrete base. The room had been capped by a pre-formed concrete slab with central light well. The eastern wall still had coat hooks attached to it while the western wall showed

evidence of shelving since removed. A wooden-framed doorway was situated in the southern wall with the door still attached. The room had been partially backfilled by topsoil which contained a paraffin lamp and chalk rubble.

2.3 Curving ditch 103/128/133 was recorded to the east of site (Fig 5). Approximately 1.2m wide and surviving to a maximum depth of 0.82m it was aligned approximately north-south and curved at the northern end towards the northwest. The ditch was backfilled by various phases of chalk rubble and topsoil/subsoil. Prehistoric worked flint was recovered from the primary fill 130. The ditch was re-cut along the same alignment by ditch 125/126/131. This ditch was approximately 2.0m wide and 0.5m deep. The ditch was backfilled by a single topsoil/subsoil like deposit 104/127/132 that contained worked flint and a single sherd of Roman pottery.

2.4 Small undated feature 113 (Fig 6) was backfilled by chalk rubble 114 and 115. Feature 113 had been truncated to the south-west by small feature 109. To the north-east 113 had been truncated by 111. Both had a single fill and were undated. All three features were truncated to the south by a service trench. Only 0.3m a length was observed.

Soakaway Trenches 2.5 Only soakaway 2 and 3 revealed archaeological features. This was opposite sides of the same ditch 203/303 (Fig 6) aligned north-east/south-west. The ditch had steep sides approximately 70 degrees from the horizontal and a flat base. The depth was 0.92m and an approximate width of 1.4m. A metal object was recovered from primary fill 205.

The finds

2.6 The finds recovered from the watching brief are summarised in Appendix B. The assemblage consisted of a single sherd of Roman pottery, lithic material, a paraffin lamp base and a lamp fitting. The material was recovered from six contexts and could be dated to the prehistoric, Roman and modern period.

2.7 A single sherd of Roman pottery, in a sandy greyware fabric, was recovered from re- cut ditch fill 127.

2.8 Prehistoric flint flakes and flint debitage were recovered from a number of deposits and provide evidence for prehistoric activity on site.

3. DISCUSSION

Prehistoric/Roman 3.1 Ditch 103/128/133 is potentially a boundary/enclosure ditch that is Iron Age or earlier in date. A struck flint flake was recovered from its primary fill. Previous geophysical survey and evaluation within the airfield revealed a circular enclosure with an appended rectangular enclosure that finds recovered suggests dates to the Iron Age or Romano-British period (WA 2007). It is possible that the ditch, though used in the Iron Age could be Bronze Age in date as activity from this period is recorded within 100m of this site and no firm datable evidence from the ditch was recovered. Re-cut 125/126/131 contained Roman pottery and worked flint suggesting an early Roman date matching the geophysical interpretation of activity in the area. The amount of flint recovered and pottery from the re-cut was significantly more than the original ditch.

20th Century 3.2 Underground structure 117 was constructed from machine-pressed frogged bricks. These bricks were manufactured throughout the twentieth century. The building had the potential to be used as a night-watchman’s shelter or a store room with direct access straight onto the airfield. The concrete roof was not reinforced and the walls were built with a single skin of brick perhaps suggesting it was not meant to be used as an air raid shelter.

3.3 Ditch 203/303 was not observed during machining of the footings suggesting it had terminated or turned. Due to its flat base and steep sides and consideration for the military nature of the site, it is possible this was a slit trench related to military use. The orientation of the ditch would have given a defender a clear line of site across the eastern half of the airfield and was possibly part of a larger network of trenches that commonly appeared across airfields during the summer of 1940 (Lowry 1995, 123).

Undated 3.4 Features 109, 111, 113 were heavily truncated by a service trench within the footings. They were not seen in the stripping to the north due to modern disturbance

and were absent from soakaway 2 directly to the south. These features are likely to be a series of small pits of unknown purpose.
