Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2009 on Land East of Lydney, Site A (South), Lydney. Forty-two trenches were excavated to provide further information within Areas 7 and 10 to 13 to supplement the results of preceding archaeological evaluation of the site. A series of circular pits, including several apparent post-pits, identify an area of probable Bronze Age activity within Area 11. Roman activity, predominantly of 3rd to 4th-century AD date, encountered within the south-eastern part of Area 10 and the north-eastern part of Area 13 was represented by a series of gullies/ditches, postholes and pits. Charcoal, coal, burnt and fragmentary stone, iron ore and metallurgical residues (tap slag and hammerscale) recovered from several of these features alludes to Late Roman metal working either within the site or its immediate vicinity. A post-medieval/modern field boundary was also recorded, together with a number of undated pits, postholes and ditches. |
