Following preliminary survey and excavation in 1996 on the Roman relict landscape at Banwell and the medieval settlement at Puxton (reported in Archaeology in the Severn Estuary 7), further work was carried out on both sites in 1997. At Banwell, parts of the Roman landscape were examined through aerial photography, earthwork and resistivity survey, fieldwalking and excavation. The latter revealed a Late Iron Age saltern, c. 0. 8 m below the present ground surface, which was buried by sterile alluvium. This was sealed by a second buried landscape associated with a late Roman ditched enclosure system that was also later inundated. At Puxton, the oval 'infield' enclosure examined last year was fieldwalked, which along with further earthwork survey and the results of soil chemistry analysis, suggests that actual settlement was restricted to a small area south of the church. To the north of the village a further area of shrunken settlement earthworks by Mays Lane were surveyed, while a series of test pits indicate medieval to post medieval occupation. | ||
