Abstract: |
The watching brief revealed two possible archaeological features in the house extension footings and no archaeological features, deposits or artefacts within the garage footings. Intact subsoils were observed across the monitored area. The gully was undated, although could be of some antiquity as it was sealed by the subsoil. It is possible, however, it was a natural feature as opposed to an archaeological feature. The possible pit feature was of more recent origin as it cut the subsoil, however no dating evidence was present within it. It may have related to the construction of Dorwyn. Further conclusions on the origin of the features are not possible due to the restricted size of the area observed. No artefactual evidence was present in the watched area. There was no clear evidence of archaeological features or deposits relating to the World Heritage Site of Avebury. |
