Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken at Church Lane and High Street, Stanton, Gloucestershire (NGR: SP 068 342). It was commissioned by WSE Limited on behalf of their client Western Power Distribution, who intends to replace the existing overhead electric cables with underground cable routes. Two post-medieval culverts associated with removing storm water were revealed running along both Church Lane and the High Street, wilst an undated structure was seen to the immediate north of the Old Manor Farmhouse. Due to severe truncation of the latter structure little can be said regarding its form or usage. The excavations in the graveyard revealed only a highly mixed late post-medieval soil that contained fragments of disarticulated human bone. Although the side of a coffin was exposed in the side of the trench, no inhumations were disturbed during the course of the works. Whilst the natural substrate was seen on occasion, the majority of the excavations remained within later post-medieval deposits and it is clear that the potential for earlier features and deposits to exist remains. Although prehistoric and Romano-British activity has previously been recorded within and around the village, no artefacts, features or deposits pre-dating the post-medieval were noted during the present works. |
