Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation and recording of five machine-excavated trenches, was undertaken by AC archaeology on land at Wolvershill Road, Banwell, North Somerset (centred on NGR: ST 39625 59385) in February 2016. The work was undertaken in support of a planning application for a proposed housing development. None of the trenches revealed any cut features of archaeological interest or evidence for structures. However, a layer representing a buried occupational soil horizon, of Romano-British origin, was revealed in the eastern extent of the site in Trenches 2 and 3. Although no evidence for domestic occupation in the form of buildings or other types of structure was revealed in any of the trenches, a quantity of artefacts indicative of domestic activity was recovered, including pottery dating from the 2nd or 3rd centuries AD and a small number of animal bones. Several land drains of post-medieval / modern date were present in each of the trenches. |
