Introduction
In April 2019, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at the Paddocks, Greenhill Road, Sandford, North Somerset. A total of 13 trenches were excavated within the site. The evaluation identified a sub-square Roman period enclosure and a small number of possibly associated features in the eastern half of the site. The western half of the site was devoid of archaeological remains, with the exception of an undated (but possibly Roman period) ditch and an undated pit recorded in the north-western corner. It is possible that the enclosure represents a Roman period farmstead, with the outlying ditches potentially forming associated land divisions, possibly within an agricultural field system.
