Wessex Archaeology record of over 1,000 years of uninterrupted settlement has been discovered in a huge archaeological excavation across six square kilometres (almost two and a half square miles) near Cambridge.

A team of 35 archaeologists have worked on and off for seven years at the site at Cambourne, nine miles west of the city, in advance of the construction of a new settlement with 3,300 homes.

St Brannock’s Church, Braunton

One of Wessex Archaeology’s most unusual projects was to create a 3D model of the earliest timber-framed church spire in Britain.

Our archaeologists Bob Davis and David Warburton spent seven weeks surveying the Grade 1 Listed spire at St Brannock’s Church in Braunton near Barnstaple in Devon.

Dorchester, former County Hospital

One major discovery by Wessex Archaeology was a Roman mosaic dating to about 350AD at the former County Hospital site in Dorchester in Dorset.

Dorchester has preserved many archaeological finds from its Roman past when it was called Durnovaria. Before building work began on the hospital site, Wessex Archaeology was asked to excavate for possible remains. The excavation, carried out in 2000 and 2001, was the largest archaeological investigation of the town for many years.

Bronze Age axe hoard from Dorset

One of the largest hoards of Bronze Age axes ever found in Britain has been investigated by Wessex Archaeology. At a site on the Isle of Purbeck in south Dorset, metal detector users found hundreds of Bronze Age axes in late October and early November 2007.

Roman stone coffin from Poundbury Farm

Michelmersh kiln site

The quiet little village of Michelmersh, near Romsey in Hampshire has an intriguing hidden history. No visible clues remain to show that it once produced pottery which was used as far afield as Wiltshire and West Sussex. Two pottery kilns have been found so far, one recently by Wessex Archaeology.

The Dolphin Hotel, Romsey

Langstone Harbour, Portsmouth

Southampton - St Marys Stadium

Wessex Archaeology was appointed to undertake excavation work in advance of the building Southampton Football Club’s new Friends Provident St Mary’s Stadium. They discovered an exceptionally rich Anglo-Saxon cemetery and found graves furnished with weapons, gold and fine gold jewellery.

Testwood Lakes

Cliffs End Farm

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Millwood Designer Homes to excavate land at Cliffs End Farm, Ramsgate prior to housing development. The extraordinary finds made during the 2004-5 excavations have allowed archaeologists to rethink the movement of people between this part of Kent and Continental Europe during the Bronze Age and Iron Age.

Fulston Manor

Margate Pipeline

In 2005 Southern Water Services commissioned Wessex Archaeology to carry out the excavation of archaeological remains along the route of two new pipelines. More than 650 finds and sites were recorded, most between Manston airfield and Weatherlees Wastewater Treatment Works during these works.

High Speed 1 - Springhead

Springhead in Kent was Wessex Archaeology’s longest-running and most prolific excavation. Around 30 archaeologists spent more than two years working at the site, finding more than 150,000 objects, ranging from axe heads dating to 300,000BC to a small hoard of Medieval silver pennies. The site was described as ‘an archaeologist’s dream’.

Harlington

Battersea Manor House

Charter Quay, the Spirit of Change

Vitro, 60-63 Fenchurch Street

Wessex Archaeology worked for Frogmore Developments Ltd on the archaeological excavation at 60 & 63 Fenchurch Street in the City of London EC3. The site was redeveloped to provide a prestigious new office building. The excavation revealed medieval and Roman remains and was completed in August 2002. All archaeological remains were removed from the site prior to construction of the new building.

Blenheim Palace display

Blenheim Palace was designed by Sir John Vanbrugh and built between 1705 and 1722.The estate was landscaped by Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown in the 1760s. But the history of the estate actually goes back over 6,000 years.

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Historic Landscape Management for the Blenheim Estate and the Countryside Agency, to report on the condition of significant archaeological sites and monuments on the estate.

Forbury Gardens

Forbury Gardens has a long and interesting history. Evidence of its past is both visible around you and buried under ground. Digging trenches for cables and pipes, laying new paths and building can all cause damage. So archaeologists were asked to watch the work in progress and keep an eye out for finds and features uncovered during the restoration. Anything significant was cleaned and recorded, then either protected by reburial or removed to safety.

Friarn Meadow, Bridgwater, Somerset

Ham Hill Iron Age Hillfort

Huntworth - Prehistoric Farm

Holywells Park

The Heritage Lottery Fund awarded Ipswich Borough Council a project planning grant to pay for the investigations needed before restoration work began at Holywells Park. Wessex Archaeology excavated a number of trial trenches to record old surfaces and structures hidden under the ground. These remains tell us more about the history of the park, and the archaeological results were fed back into the renovation plans.

Christchurch Park

During work at Christchurch Park, Ipswich, a medieval cemetery was found. The remains are probably part of the St Margaret’s church burial ground. The burials were found while a new drainage system for the park renovations was being dug.

Two Rivers and Tillys Lane, Staines

Battlesbury Camp

Evidence of Late Bronze Age and Iron Age (800BC – 200 BC) settlement was found by Wessex Archaeology close to the Iron Age hillfort at Battlesbury Camp near Warminster in Wiltshire.

Stone Avenue, Avebury

School children had an unexpected treat on their visit to Avebury, when they got the chance to handle Neolithic objects fresh from the ground in which they had been buried for more than 4,000 years.

The Boscombe Bowmen

The grave of the Boscombe Bowmen was discovered during the digging of a trench for a new water pipe in May 2003. When archaeologist Colin Kirby saw human bone and pottery dating to the Bronze Age pottery, he realised immediately that a grave had been disturbed.

It was soon clear that there was something unusual about the grave. There was not just one skeleton, there were also bones from several other people. It was also clear that while the water trench had cut down one side of the grave, a trench for an electricity cable had also cut across part of the grave. What had survived the electricity and water trenches was quite unexpected.

Palaeolithic Handaxes from the North Sea

Wrecks on the Seabed: Ecology

As part of two major projects: the ALSF funded Wrecks on the Seabed project and the contract to implement the Protection of Wrecks Act (PWA) for English Heritage (now Historic England), Wessex Archaeology’s dive team has surveyed more than 65 shipwreck sites around the coast of the United Kingdom.

Wreck of the SS Mendi

In the dark and fog of the night of Wednesday 21st February 1917, the ss Mendi was rammed by another ship. It was an accident, but with a deep gash in its side, the Mendi was doomed. She sank 25 minutes later and almost 650 men died. The wreck lies off The Isle of Wight, in the English Channel. In Britain the story of the SS Mendi is almost unknown. In South Africa she is famous; a symbol of a racist past and an icon of unity and reconciliation.

Wreck in the Thames Princes Channel

Over the summer of 2004, the Port of London Authority worked with Wessex Archaeology to excavate and recover the bow and part of the side of a late 16th century merchant ship. The shipwreck was first located in April 2003 when the Port of London Authority was undertaking survey work in advance of dredging to deepen the Princes Channel to allow safe passage for the increasingly large ships using the Port.

ALSF Wrecks on the Seabed

ALSF Artefacts from the Sea

In 2002 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by English Heritage, funded through the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund to undertake research into previously recovered archaeological artefacts from the sea. The purpose of the project was to collate and enhance records of artefacts from the sea and inter-tidal areas, held by the National Monuments Record (NMR) and selected coastal Sites and Monuments Records (SMRs) and Historic Environment Records (HERs) in England, and to record artefacts held in museums or private collections for inclusion in these databases.

ALSF projects

ALSF England’s Shipping

Large numbers of shipwrecks, unidentified anomalies, and debris have built up on the seabed over the twelve millenia of maritime activity in UK waters. Only a fraction of this submerged cultural resource is currently recorded.

The England’s Shipping project was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology to research ways of mapping shipping movements recorded in historical archives. The data gathered was mapped using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and required the development of a methodology for representing historical data spatially. The project was funded by that part of the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF) distributed by English Heritage.

Dorset Coast Historic Environment Survey

The Dorset Coast Historic Environment Survey by Wessex Archaeology, grew out of the work of the Archaeology Group (AG) of the Dorset Coastal Forum (DCF). The AG realised that little was known about the condition of historic buildings and archaeological sites along much of Dorset’s coast and how vulnerable they were to changes to the coastline. A proposal for a Historic Environment Survey for Dorset was put forward to English Heritage.

Seabed Prehistory

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned in April 2003 to undertake the research project ‘Seabed Prehistory – gauging the effects of marine aggregate dredging’, funded by the Aggregate Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF). The project demonstrated the scope for assessing prehistoric archaeology that has been covered by rising sea levels, and distributed the results via a series of reports, publications and a 3D animation.

Manor Lodge, Sheffield

Staff from Wessex Archaeology Sheffield are providing on-site supervision for the University of Sheffield’s training excavation at Manor Lodge, the site of the medieval and 16th century hunting lodge of Sheffield where Mary Queen of Scots spent part of her captivity in the custody of George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury and his wife, Bess of Hardwick.

Staybrite Works, Sheffield

Wessex Archaeology's Heritage Team recorded the standing remains of the former Staybrite Works, manufacturers of stainless steel at Meadowhall in Sheffield. The site includes a huge steel framed rolling mill building and ancillary workshops and buildings, c. 1907.

Land at Highpost, Chemring, Wiltshire

Pan, Isle of Wight Community Excavation

In the summer of 2007, The Pan Neighbourhood Committee asked Wessex Archaeology to organise a small archaeological dig at Pan, Newport, Isle of Wight. The aim was both to give children from Pan something exciting to do and to encourage their interest in local history.

Eaton Socon

The character of the Romano-British rural economy in Cambridgeshire has been illuminated by the Priors Gate excavation at Eaton Socon, near St. Neots. The sequence of roundhouses, enclosures, watering holes and a droveway, spanning much of the Roman period, reflects the development, at its most basic and local level, of the Roman agrarian landscape.

Truckle Hill Roman Bath-House

Wessex Archaeology excavated the remains of a small Roman building were uncovered on the side of a narrow, steep-sided valley near North Wraxall in Wiltshire. The building, a bath-house, is a short distance from an imposing Roman villa, excavated in the mid 19th century. This project included a community excavation to find out as much as possible about the building and to conserve it for the future.

Collingbourne Ducis, Wiltshire: an Early Saxon cemetery with bed burial

Wessex Archaeology undertook mitigation work and published the result of its excavations at Collingbourne Ducis one of the largest Anglo-Saxon cemeteries in Wiltshire. Dating to between the 5th and 7th centuries AD, it was investigated in 1974 and, in 2007. In all over 120 burials were found.
