Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned to undertake an archaeological evaluation prior to construction works associated with development of 3.65 ha of land, pending planning permission (Bath and North-East Somerset Council Planning Application: 16/04615/FUL). The Site is part of a property formerly known as HorseWorld, Staunton Manor Farm, Staunton Lane, Whitchurch (centred on Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference ST 61759 67377). The evaluation was undertaken by WA staff between Tuesday 23 May 2017 and Thursday 25 May 2017, and comprised the monitored mechanical excavation and preservation by record, of ten 30 m x 1.80 m trial trenches representing a 1.5% sample of the site area. Trenches were targeted on anomalies identified by geophysical survey as well as blank areas. Two ditches were uncovered during the evaluation, one contained a piece of 13th-15th-century Bristol Redcliff ware, although the highly abraded nature of the sherd suggested that it was residual and the ditch is likely to be later in date. The second, larger ditch on a north-south orientation contained three sherds of post-medieval/modern redware and corresponded with a field boundary depicted on an early estate map. The remaining nine trenches did not contain any archaeological features. |
