Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief on geotechnical test pits and boreholes was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in May 2008 at the request of Atkins Heritage on land at Willow Farm, Hallen, South Gloucestershire. This was followed by a subsequent archaeological evaluation undertaken in August 2008. Eleven trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. The archaeological fieldwork identified a consistent alluvial sequence across the site. This included a thin organic clay silt layer, recorded between 4.37m and 5.02m AOD, interpreted as an undated, emergent salt marsh deposit. In addition, evidence of ridge and furrow cultivation was recorded in two trenches. |
