Abstract: |
The evaluation identified a series of post-medieval and modern plot boundary ditches. Two phases of activity comprising four ditches in total were recorded. Phase 1 had a date range between the 16th and 19th centuries and Phase 2 ranged between the 17th to 20th centuries. A map regression identified the rear (northern) boundary on the 1904 Ordnance Survey and there is a tacit suggestion for the southern ditch (1005) as a roadside ditch on the Tithe Map of 1840. The first phase relates to ditch 1005, possibly a former roadside ditch prior to the modern layout. The datable finds recovered suggest it was filled in during the 19th century and this boundary ditch is not present on the First Edition Ordnance Survey map of 1884. The second phase is associated with the rear plot boundary ditch (1008) which was still in use until the 20th century. It is present on the Second Edition Ordnance Survey map (1904) and the finds recovered from the upper fill coincides with the closure of the Wortham Queens Head pub (located to the west) in April 1930 as identified in the pottery report. Given the results of the evaluation, the development is unlikely to have an impact on significant archaeological remains. |
