Abstract: |
On the 9th and 10th of August 2012 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out a field evaluation on land to the north-east of Bridgwater, Somerset. This evaluation follows three previous phases of evaluation trenching conducted by OA in 2009-10 and 2012, of which Phase 1 (48 trenches) and Phase 2 (30 trenches) were the main investigations. Phase 3 (3 trenches) and the current Phase 4 (2 trenches) are much smaller in scale, being designed to fill gaps in coverage within the overall development area. The current evaluation comprised machine excavation of two trenches (numbered 83 and 84, following on from previous phases), each measuring 50m by 2m and excavated to a maximum depth of 1.2m. No archaeological features were identified in either of the trenches. A fragment of 16th/17th century AD pottery, recovered from the topsoil layer within Trench 83, was the only artefact round during the investigation. A uniform alluvial sequence was observed throughout |
