Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology during groundworks associated with the residential development of land at Rickfield House, Church Road, Liddington. The watching brief identified one ditch of possible Anglo-Saxon date and two postholes probably dating to the medieval period. A further three ditches, two pits and four postholes were observed that could not be dated. It is possible that the ditches form part of an agricultural system, acting either as field boundaries and/or drainage features, which might be Anglo-Saxon or medieval in date. A linear alignment of postholes was interpreted as possibly forming part of a structure extending out to the west from the development area and possibly dating to the 11th to 14th centuries. Artefactual material, consisting of Anglo-Saxon and medieval pottery together with fragments of animal bone, was recovered from six deposits. A large area in the northern part of the site has suffered significant truncation during the modern period and no archaeological deposits survive in that area. |
