Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology South (OAS) was commissioned by Robert Hitchins Ltd to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land at Fiddington, Ashchurch, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR SO 9209 3303) ahead of proposed development. The work was undertaken between 18th March and 12th April 2013. A total of 24 trenches were excavated across the site. Features of probable 1st-2nd century Roman date were found in the north-western part of the site, with some activity continuing into the 3rd century. The exact nature of the activity is unclear, but it is probable that it represents the remains of a small agricultural settlement. Some evidence was recovered suggesting that the settlement may have originated in the late Iron Age, although this is very uncertain. A number of furrows and ditches that probably date to the medieval and postmedieval periods were recorded across the site, the remnants of arable agriculture, but no settlement remains of these periods were present. |
