Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the excavation of 7 trenches in the location shown in the attached plan: • 6no 30m x 1.8 trenches; and • 1no 20m x 1.8m trench. In January 2023, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of Land West of Worwell Farmhouse, Cirencester Road, Tetbury, Gloucestershire. A total of 7 trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified a small number of archaeological features, comprising pits and ditches, in the northern end and, to a lesser extent, central parts of the site. A total of 46 fragments of worked flint, some of which is of possible Mesolithic or Early Neolithic date, was recovered as residual finds from later features and a probable colluvial deposit identified in the northern and central parts of the site. Two ditches, most likely associated with land management, drainage or division were in trenches excavated towards the western edge of the site, contained small quantities of pottery of a broad Romano-British date. Six sherds of early to mid Anglo-Saxon (mid-5th to 7th/8th century AD) pottery, were recovered as residual finds from the fills of later features identified the northern parts of the site. A small number of probable quarry pits were identified in the northern and central parts of the site, with artefactual material from these features suggesting a medieval/post-medieval date. |
