Abstract: |
Alder Archaeology was commissioned to undertake archaeological monitoring on ground stripping, engineers' test pits and excavation for strip foundations for a dwelling house development at Powbridge Cottage, Tibbermore. The site covers an area of 3,500m² and is centred on NO 0503 2451. The development site was considered to warrant archaeological monitoring as a pit alignment, identified by aerial photographic survey in the adjacent field to the E, may have extended into the site. The pit alignment was considered to date from the Bronze Age. The monitoring was undertaken on 24th September 2009 and again on 21st June 2010. The topsoiling for the house footprint failed to bottom onto natural deposits as the turf/topsoil and subsoil were relatively deep. Only on part of the site's E side was the natural sand reached. The engineers' test pits were up to 2m deep and revealed two modern pits extending into the natural deposits. The excavation of strip foundations revealed open, shallow features, probably natural, undated possible plough furrows, and obviously modern features. No bronze age pits or any other relevant archaeological features were identified during the monitoring. |
