Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2015 at the request of Ashford Homes (South West) Limited at Land East of Fulwell Lane, Faulkland, Hemington, Somerset. The earliest evidence for activity comprised small quantities of Late Iron Age pottery, although without cut features. The earliest dated remains were enclosures forming part of a Roman rural settlement, found in association with pottery, animal bone, charred plant remains and a small quantity of metalwork, slag and fired clay. Although no structural remains were found and only a very small quantity of ceramic building material, this range of finds is suggestive of occupation. The pottery assemblage dates this to the Early Roman period, up to c. AD 200. Cremated human remains within a Roman pottery urn were also found. Two inhumations in graves are currently undated. Later remains included field boundaries, dateable to the Late Roman period or later, and quarry pits which probably dated to the medieval and/or post-medieval periods. This document presents an assessment of the evidence recovered from the excavation and presents an updated project design for a programme of post-excavation analysis to bring the results to appropriate publication. |
