Abstract: |
The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2016). An archaeologist was present during all intrusive groundworks which involved the mechanical excavation of eighteen trial pits for the geotechnical engineers. The trenches measured 4.5m in length by 0.60m in width, with an average depth of 4.5m. Fourteen additional boreholes and probe-holes were not suitable for archaeological monitoring. An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during the excavation of eighteen geotechnical trial pits. The site is south-west of Rowden Manor and includes the site of a battlefield associated with the siege of Rowden Manor during the English Civil War in 1643. No archaeological features were observed during the groundworks, with the exception of a stone lined field drain in TP 104. The recovered finds consist of two worked flints and an iron object of uncertain date and function, and were recovered from TP’s 102, 104 and 112. |
