During the fourth season· of fieldwork in and around Puxton, near Weston-super-Mare, on the North Somerset Levels, progress was made in five areas. Work started on a contour survey to establish whether the present settlement lies on a slight island. A structural survey of eight historic farmhouses in the parish was also carried out which points to a major period of rebuilding during the 17th century. Three houses may contain traces of late medieval structures, while medieval pottery was also collected from several gardens. There were also three excavations. Firstly, an early Romano-British (?)saltern and ditched enclosure system was investigated on the Do/moors. Secondly, in a nearby field which on the Tithe Map was called 'Hardingworth ', excavation established that a concentration of settlement-indicative heavy metals, located in a soil chemistry survey of 1998, was due to a dump of postmedieval domestic rubbish. However, a buried soil was also recorded which probably equates with that observed in 1998 at Mays Lane and dated to the Roman period. Further work was also carried out in the oval-shaped 'infield' enclosure south of the church, including a trench across the bank that runs around that field. Excavation on the main building platform near the church revealed a sequence of features containing a large assemblage of I 0th to 13th century domestic refuse, and a series of palaeoenvironmental samples was taken. These will provide excellent comparative material for the later medieval and early post-medieval assemblages recovered during excavations to the north of the village at Mays Lane, and indeed for the Romano-British material retrieved from the Do/moors, and the sites at Banwell Moor and Kenn Moor. | ||||||||||||||||||
