Abstract: |
The excavation of geological test-pits at two locations, in connection with a proposal to carry out flood prevention works, was monitored in order to determine the presence or absence of archaeological deposits. Previous work in the area had revealed archaeological horizons of Romano-British date. No organic deposits were observed within the test-pits at the Brue estuary. The pits on the Huntspill River did reveal flooded horizons containing organic materials, although the nature of the recording undertaken made it unlikely that archaeological features would have been recognised if present. The depths of the deposits and their heights above OD were similar to those found previously. It was concluded that the deposits were highly likely to represent the Romano-British horizon observed in the area. [AIP] |
