Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. in March 2014 at land off Kilmersdon Road, Radstock, Somerset, in advance of proposals for a housing development. This work followed on from and validated a geophysical survey that had identified a small number of magnetic anomalies. The linear anomalies identified proved to be deep rock-cut ditches of Prehistoric date. A cluster of pits identified on the eastern part of the site contained very compact, very clean fills, and both sets of features appear to have been deliberately backfilled at the end of their use-life. The nature and function of these features remains ambiguous. It is possible they form the last and most durable elements of a formerly more extensive buried landscape, or perhaps form part of an unfinished monument. |
