Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2011 at Reed Field, Prior's Norton, Gloucestershire. Four trenches were excavated. Alluvial deposits of c. 1.6m depth were present, as was a palaeochannel, wider than 18m and c. 0.9m deep. Roman pottery was recovered from the alluvium and the fills of the former channel, while a small pit stratigraphically earlier than the channel also contained Roman pottery. About 1.2kg of Roman pottery was recovered from the alluvium and channel fills, and it is considered likely that this had eroded from a nearby settlement site either during or after the lifetime of the presumed site. A cropmark site to the west may represent evidence for the location of such a settlement. A ditch excavated along the line of the palaeochannel may have been the 'Queens Dyke', described on the tithe map of 1840. |
