Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 188 trenches, each measuring 50m in length and 1.8m in width in the locations shown in the attached plan (Fig. 2). A number of trenches, located in north-eastern part of the site (Trenches 188 to 204), were not excavated during the current evaluation due to access issues. Trench 68 was not excavated due to site constraints. Trench 83 was extended at the request of Rachel Foster, after the agreement of EDP, to gather further information on a possible prehistoric archaeological feature identified within this trench. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site. In March and September 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Sharpness, Gloucestershire. A total of 188 trenches were excavated. The archaeological features recorded during the evaluation mostly comprised furrows, ditches and pits. The material assemblage recovered within these features comprised one pottery sherd of Iron Age date, seventy-six fragments of pottery dated between the 2nd to 4th centuries, three pottery sherds of 12th–14th century date, and post-medieval pottery sherds, glass, metal and CBM material. Remains of possible hearth material was also recovered from the fill of a pit. |
