Abstract: |
In May 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological watching brief on land adjacent to Churchill Substation, Stock Lane, North Somerset. This watching brief was part of the Hinkley Point C Connection Project and was maintained during Stage 1.2 of the authorised development at Churchill Y Route. The monitored groundworks comprised the machine excavation of a new haul road and a new compound footprint. The watching brief recorded two ditches. Both of these ditches were undated artefactually but both appeared to represent former elements within the extant field system. There were no archaeological remains clearly associated with medieval occupation which has been recorded previously in the vicinity of the site. This supports the hypothesis that the site formed part of the agricultural hinterland to these settlements, although it is possible that associated archaeological remains were not exposed in the relatively limited works area. |
