Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in August 2014 on land near Sharpness Docks, Gloucestershire. Twenty-two trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified a series of Roman ditches, most probably forming agricultural boundaries or an enclosure(s), on locally high ground close to the eastern extent of the site. The excavated evidence suggests two phases of Roman activity survive, the earliest of which is dated to the late 1st to 2nd century. Former field boundaries depicted on the 1881 OS First Edition map and which correlated closely with geophysical anomalies were identified throughout the site. |
