Abstract:
An archaeological trench evaluation was carried out by AC archaeology in October 2015 on land at Withy End, Withy Farm, East Huntspill, Somerset (ST 32389 43355). The investigation was carried out as a condition of the grant of planning permission for a solar farm. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of 11 trenches that were positioned to target anomalies identified by a previous geophysical survey as well as cropmarks. No archaeological features were exposed in any of the trenches, and the only finds were of a cow burial of modern date. Under the historic agricultural topsoil and subsoil a deep series of Holocene and probably historic alluvial deposits were exposed, separated by a layer of peat dating to the Middle Bronze Age. It is concluded that the construction of the solar farm will not impact on any buried archaeological features, and the identified peat will be preserved at a level lower than the groundworks for the solar farm.
