Abstract: |
The project required the mechanical excavation of three trenches measuring 10m by 1.8m and one trench measuring 5m by 1.8m, this comprised just over a 4% sample of the study area. Only one archaeological feature was present in any of the excavated trenches. This was a large, shallow ditch dated to Medieval period and could possibly represent a field boundary. All the pottery recovered from the trenches was Medieval in date, except for one abraded sherd of Roman pottery recovered from the spoil of Trench 4. The Medieval pottery consisted of North Wiltshire and South Gloucestershire limestone tempered ware, produced at a number of sources, the best known being at Minety. Although it is possible that burials are present adjacent to the Fosse Way, the results of the evaluation suggest that this may occur only as discrete features or groups, rather than as an extensive cemetery. On the basis of the evaluation evidence, the potential of the site appears lo be low. |
