Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Smiths Gore on behalf of Solar Power South Limited to undertake an archaeological evaluation of land off Grange Farm, Winterbourne, South Gloucestershire (NGR 363400 182800; herafter 'the Site') in order to inform a planning application for the development of the Site. Planning permission (PT13/3662/F) is being sought from South Gloucestershire Council (SGC) for the development of the Site as a photovoltaic (PV) solar array. The planning application is also supported by an archaeological desk-based assessment (WA 2013a) and a geophysical survey (2013b). The trial trench evaluation was required to verify the results of the previous surveys. The trial trenching comprised the excavation of 37 50m x 2m trenches. A specification detailing how the trial trench evaluation would be carried out was prepared by Wessex Archaeology (2013c), and approved by SGC. The geophysical survey and trial trenching revealed evidence for post-medieval hedgerows present throughout the Site. Features thought to relate to lime production within the north of Field 8 were found to be areas of plough damage on outcropping limestone. During on-site consultation with the archaeological advisor to SGC it was suggested that it was unlikely that any further archaeologicl work would be required on the Site in light of the results of the evaluation. |
