Abstract: |
The archaeological investigation identified good preservation of archaeological deposits within the trackway area. A cluster of archaeological features were identified, which included two postholes and four possible pits. Two further possible pits were identified approximately 60m northeast of the cluster. To the southwest of the cluster lay a possible linear pit or gully, a large Post-medieval/ Modern ditch and a further two postholes in close proximity to an undefined shallow cut or hollow. All four of the postholes and two of the large circular pits were fully exposed. The remaining four pits, the shallow linear pit or gully, the large northwest-southeast aligned ditch, and the shallow cut or hollow were partially revealed within the trackway area. The nature and concentration of the Iron Age features identified during this investigation combined with the evidence from the Cotswold Archaeology Archaeological Evaluation (2011), indicated a high probability that an Iron Age occupation site lay in close proximity to the trackway area (Figure 3). No archaeological deposits were revealed in the three other investigated areas (the arena, hard standing area and stables area). |
