Abstract: |
In October 2018, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Brue Farm, Highbridge, Somerset. A total of 11 trenches was excavated within the site. The evaluation recorded deep alluvial clay layers to a depth of at least 1.2m below the present ground level. The natural substrate was not exposed in any trench. The site is thought to have been underwater until the medieval period, and the evaluation results support this hypothesis. A single possible ditch was recorded. This feature was cut into an alluvial layer and was sealed by a further alluvial layer. Its status as an anthropomorphic feature was uncertain; it was very shallow with a broad concave base and a sterile heavy clay fill, and may represent a former natural water channel. |
