Abstract: |
A watching brief was maintained by Oakford Archaeology in October 2021 during the excavation of new drainage. The works entailed the excavation of a trench against the western elevation of the house totalling c.9.7m in length, 1.1m wide and 0.6m deep, revealing a simple deposit sequence extending across the whole site. This exposed natural subsoil consisting of mid orange growan (100) at a depth of 0.3m below current ground level. This was in turn overlain by dark brown black clayey silt (101) topsoil.
A very small collection of archaeological material was recovered from the topsoil, consisting of 3 sherds of South Somerset coarseware (18th-19th century), 5 sherds of 19th and 20th centuries industrial whitewares, 9 fragments of clear window glass (19th-20th century) and 5 fragments of modern pressed window glass. |
