Abstract: |
A watching brief was undertakne during the renewal of the water main. Two areas of archaeological potential had been identified: the area around the Church of St. Mary, Bunny (area 1); and the area adjacent to the Bunny Gypsum works where finds and structural remains had suggested Roman settlement in the vicinity (area 2). Waterlogged deposits were identified towards the centre of the village (in area 1), and these semmed to realte to a stream running parallel to the Fairham Brook - indeed this waterlogged ground could have been the reason for the Old-English place-name element BUNE which means reed or rush grown marshland. Animal bones recovered at the northern edge of the modern village, close to a series of ridge and earthwork furrow could have been indicative of domestic debris, or suggest that the core of the village was larger, or had shifted. No archaeological deposits were identified in area 1, although surviving deposits could have been at a greated depth than disturbed by the pipeline works. [Au(adp)] |
