Introduction
This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between 18 and 24 September 2019 on land at Elm Grove Nursery, Locking, North Somerset. The evaluation was undertaken to accompany an appeal against non-determination of a planning application for residential development. A total of 17 trenches were excavated.
Archaeological features were encountered in the south-eastern and north-western corners of the site. Two parallel enclosure ditches were identified in the south-eastern corner, with pottery sherds dating to the later Iron Age recovered. In the north-western corner of the site a linear ditch, a curvilinear ditch and a pit were recorded and are seemingly related to the Second World War Pill Box located immediately to the north-west, despite the presence of residual Roman pottery.
