Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2015 at Land at Hainbury Farm, Northover, Ilchester, Somerset. Seventeen trenches were excavated. The trial trench evaluation has identified archaeological features within Trenches 10 and 15. An isolated undated shallow linear ditch was identified within Trench 10 and a more substantial undated ditch with a V-profile within Trench 15. It is likely that these features are isolated examples and date to the late prehistoric or Romano-British periods and possibly represent the remains of field boundaries associated with agricultural activity based on their morphology and fill characteristics. The ditches do not correlate with post-medieval/modern mapping evidence. No settlement activity was identified. Recovered material dates to the late medieval/post-medieval and modern periods and will not be retained. However, a single fragment of imbrex roof tile was found within the subsoil of Trench 14 and a single oyster shell found from the subsoil of Trench 16, both dating to the Romano-British period and are likely to be isolated residual finds; waste material discarded from the road by passers-by during the Roman or post-roman period. |
