NEW MANOR FARM, MIDDLE WINTERSLOW, WILTSHIRE: A DESK BASED ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT. Mark Corney and Nik Morris SUMMARY A desk based archaeological assessment of a proposed wind turbine site at New Manor Farm, Middle Winterslow, Wiltshire, NGR centre SU23193391. 28 records of Designated and Non-Designated Heritage Assets, including prehistoric funerary monuments, were identified within a 1 kilometre radius of the proposed site. It is concluded that there is a high probability of plough-levelled archaeology within the study area. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 This report sets out the results of a largely desk-based archaeology and cultural heritage assessment of a proposed wind turbine site at New Manor Farm, Middle Winterslow, Wiltshire centred on ST23193391 (Fig. 1). The study has been prepared for Aspire <strong>Planning</strong> Ltd. 1.2 The study has been prepared in support of a proposed planning application to Salisbury District Council for the construction of a wind turbine and an associated cable trench. The study was undertaken by Mark Corney and Nik Morris during March and April 2011. The aim of the report is to provide an assessment of the known heritage assets that may contribute to the understanding of the historic environment of the proposed development site. 1.3 The village of Middle Winterslow is located 3km to the north east of Salisbury. The study area covers a 1 kilometre radius centred on the proposed wind turbine development at NGR SU231339. The wind turbine and associated cable run are sited within a field of approximately 52ha. The field is under an arable regime and is bounded along the western and northern limits by a belt of mature trees; to the east by a hedge adjacent to a minor road leading from the A30 road to Middle Winterslow and to the south by a hedge. The field is overlooked from the south by a steep chalk escarpment (Figure 1). The field slopes gently from south east to north west and is
etween 90mOD and 115mOD. The underlying geology is chalk. The study area is rich in archaeological remains ranging from extensive prehistoric cemeteries and field systems, Romano-British activity, Anglo-Saxon burials and medieval settlement. Figure 1.
