This collection comprises the Digital Archive (a report, images and site records) from an archaeological evaluation at Wind Hill Farm commissioned by the National Trust and undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group between August and September 2019.
The evaluation was carried out by test pitting prior to groundworks associated with the construction of a protected vehicle parking space and a new length of driveway. Following completion of the test pitting, a watching brief was undertaken to monitor the groundworks. Ten test pits were hand excavated during the evaluation.
A stratigraphic sequence of natural bedrock geology, overlain by subsoil deposits, and then by topsoil, was identified and recorded. This profile was confirmed during the watching brief. Modern intrusions and evidence for bioturbation were recorded. A small number of flint fragments were retrieved during the works but they cannot confidently be interpreted as evidence of prehistoric activity.
