Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2011 on land at Longforth Farm, Wellington, Somerset. A total of 53 trenches was excavated. A probable trackway of potentially Bronze Age date was identified as well as medieval ditches relating to water management and land subdivision. Three pits containing 12th to 14th-century pottery were also identified. A number of ditches corresponding to the alignment of the current field system were identified. It is considered probable that elements of this field system date to the medieval or post-medieval periods, although it is also possible that some of the identified features date to earlier periods. |
