Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out during September 2017 at land north of The Old Rectory, Hawling, Gloucestershire in pre-determination of an application to develop the site for stabling. A single linear ditch-like feature, aligned north to south, revealed in the excavation, appears to have been constructed to provide drainage away from the Old Rectory, connecting with the eastward flowing stream along the northern boundary of the site. The limestone edging along the east, lower, side of the ditch acts as a walled revetment, and the undated deposit which fills the ditch is concentrated in some depth above the limestones. This may have been bank material, perhaps also functioning as a boundary, subsequently pushed back into the ditch-like feature when it was finally abandoned. The charcoal flecking, possibly hearth waste remains, within the ditch fill suggests the process of in-filling was a lengthy process. The ditch remains undated and finds were sparse; a couple of residual sherds of later post-medieval and modern pottery from the overlying garden soils. These soils were generally thicker within the western half of the main trench indicating an accumulation of these soils along the upper part of the slope. By contrast, to the north and north-east where the ground levels out, these deposits taper away. |
