Electric Cable Burial, North-west of Brown’s Farm, Marlborough, Wiltshire

In January and February 2011 Oxford Archaeology undertook a watching brief along
the route of a new underground electrical cable on land to the south of Marlborough, Wiltshire. The only archaeological feature encountered was an existing earthwork that defined a former hollow way with probable medieval origins associated with a settlement at Pantawick recorded as Ponter Wyke in AD 1490.
The eastern side of the hollow way had a substantial bank along it that defines part of the historical and existing parish boundary between Marlborough and Savernake
