Abstract: |
Following a programme of archaeological evaluation undertaken by WessexArchaeology at the Site in March 2010, a programme of archaeological strip, map and excavation in Areas 1 and 2 was proposed. Area 1 measured c.340m2 in size and comprised the footprint of the proposed soakaway and bund area. Area 2 measured c.900m² in area and was focused on a number of ditches, which appeared to indicate evidence of Iron Age activity possibly relating to field systems or occupation.A 360 mechanical excavator equipped with a toothless grading bucket wasused to remove the overburden (topsoil/subsoil) under the constantsupervision of a qualified professional archaeologist. Further excavation of archaeological features or deposits was undertaken by hand. The programme of archaeological strip, map and excavation in Areas 1 and 2 further revealed features dating to a number of periods: early to late prehistoric, Romano-British, Early/Middle Saxon and medieval/post-medieval. |
