Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation and excavation carried out on land comprising part the wider Western Urban Villages Flood Solution scheme to the east of the River Banwell, Wick St Lawrence, was undertaken by AC archaeology during June and July 2015. A previous geophysical survey had interpreted a concentration of anomalies comprising linear features thought to relate to an enclosure. Archaeological investigations exposed evidence for previously-unknown medieval occupation on the site. No structural remains were present, but a large and varied finds assemblage dating from the 11th to 14th centuries that was recovered from a series of rubbish pits, drainage and boundary ditches and a spread of dumped material, is considered to demonstrate that the activity exposed was related to domestic occupation. |
