Abstract: |
On the 9th and 10th of May 2012 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation on land to the north-east of Bridgwater, Somerset. The Phase 3 evaluation followed the earlier Phase 1 trial trenching conducted by OA during December 2009 to January 2010 and Phase 2 trial trenching carried out in March and April 2010. The current evaluation comprised machine excavation of three trenches measuring 50m by 1.9m and trench numbering followed on from the previous phases. All trenches were excavated to a maximum depth of 1m with a 2.2m deep sondage excavated at one end of each trench. No archaeological features were identified in any of the trenches. A fragment of a post-medieval pottery, recovered from the subsoil layer Trench 80, was the sole artefact retrieved from the investigation. A uniform alluvial sequence was observed throughout the trenches. |
