Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology (WA) was commissioned by the Westerleigh Group (the Client) through their project management advisors, Stride Treglown Management to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation of a site at Stretcholt, near Bridgwater, Somerset off the A38, centred on National Grid Reference (NGR) 330200, 144000. In consultation with Steven Membery of SHES, acting on behalf of the Local Planning Authority, a 5% sampling strategy of the Site equating to the excavation of an initial 11 trial trenches (25m x 2m) was undertaken. The evaluation was carried out between the 3rd and the 5th of October. Although Romano-British finds were retrieved from the topsoil and some of the alluvial layers, no archaeological features or deposits were identified during the evaluation, and it is assumed that these finds were simply discarded by those working the land. It is considered possible that archaeological remains (more likely to be prehistoric) might survive on the Site, but at considerable depth and below the likely construction levels of the proposed development. |
