Abstract: |
Between 12th and 18th July 2012 Oxford Archaeology carried out an evaluation by trenching of the site of a proposed chicken farm at Starveall Farm, Claydon, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 940 317). The site is an open field currently under cultivation, with surviving ridge-and-furrow running east-west across it. Six trenches each 36m long and 1.6m wide were excavated to natural, a 2% sample of the development area. The trenches were laid out to provide overall coverage of the area of the proposed development, and also to take account of a magnetometer survey carried out by Stratascan. This had not found any anomalies definitely of archaeological origin, but had indicated a number of tentative faint anomalies, which were crossed by the line of the trenches.. Excavation of the trenches revealed a topsoil underlain by a subsoil, probably another ploughsoil, overlying the natural. The only archaeological features were the furrows of ridge-and-furrow cultivation. No finds earlier than the 19th century were seen. |
