Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in March 2010 at the request of Savills on behalf of The Estate of J W Tustian Deceased. Seven trenches were excavated. Medieval features were identified in six trenches in the western and northern areas of the site, probably forming part of the deserted medieval village known to lie to the west. The remains of a building and associated hearths and stone surfaces were recorded, as well as a trackway and pits, with pottery suggesting occupation of the site from the 12th to the 14th centuries. Ditches, probably of medieval date although possibly of earlier origin, and apparently forming a rectilinear enclosure were recorded. The evaluation demonstrated that the western part of the site had been subject to flooding and alleviation in the medieval period. Early prehistoric struck flint, including a scraper and an arrowhead were recovered, and a single residual piece of Roman roof tile. |
