Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2013 at land at Oak Court, The Batch, Bishop Sutton, Bath and North East Somerset. Six trenches were excavated. The evaluation revealed a north-east/south-west ditch across the centre of the field. It is likely this ditch relates to a local road that followed the same alignment and was first depicted in the 1840 tithe map and later seen as an earthwork on a 1946 aerial photograph. The alignment of the ditch compared to the tithe map and the aerial photograph seems to suggest the ditch may define the southern edge of the former road. A further three shallow ditches were identified within the south-west corner of the site, all of which were undated. Two of these ditches were slightly curved and form a single, continuous ditch. |
