Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2015 at Southfield, Bridgehampton, Yeovil, Somerset. One area (A) and six trenches were excavated targeted on features previously identified by geophysical survey. Two intercutting enclosures were identified in Area A. Both enclosures were of Late Iron Age/Early Roman date and a substantial artefact assemblage was recovered from the fills of the enclosure ditches and associated features. The features identified in Area A may represent the remains of a small farmstead or occupation area and an associated animal enclosure. A ditch extended to the south-east. It is likely to be associated with the farmstead although no datable evidence was recovered from its fills. The remains of ridge and furrow earthworks were identified and modern field ditches were also encountered. |
