Abstract: |
The project required the excavation of two trenches measuring 15m by 1.8m and one trench measuring 5m by 1.8m, comprising just over a 3% sample of the study area. Topsoil and non-significant overburden was removed to the top of archaeological deposits or natural, whichever was encountered first. This was achieved with the use of a mechanical excavator with a toothless grading bucket. Thereafter the trenches were cleaned and all additional excavation was conducted by hand. No archaeological features were present in any of the excavated trenches. A small assemblage of medieval pottery dating to the late 12th-mid 14th century recovered from the top of the natural clay in Trench 2. 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 in Wiltshire.
On the basis of the evaluation evidence the site appears to have previously stripped with Post-medieval/modern building rubble spread across the top of the natural clays, particularly in the western part of the site. This is likely to have occurred during the construction of the buildings fronting onto the existing roads. As a result the archaeological potential of the site appears to be low. |
