Abstract: |
The project comprised the archaeological monitoring of the excavation of 25 tree planting pits, which were situated within the area of Woodchester Roman Villa Scheduled Monument. The pits were excavated to a maximum depth of 300mm below the top of the Modern topsoil. The excavations penetrated into, but not beyond a clay silt subsoil, which was overlaid by topsoil and turf or leaf litter/humus. The archaeological works successfully ensured that the excavation of the tree planting pits did not inappropriately impact upon the scheduled monument. No features were revealed by the limited interventions, although, a single fragment of possible Roman brick was recovered, which represented residual building material related to the nearby villa. |
