Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Colin Powell of GCP Chartered Architects - for the South Western Housing Society - to undertake a trial trench evaluation ahead of residential development on land at New Road, Othery, Somerset (centred on National Grid Reference ST 38540 31789). The two trench evaluation revealed two probable post-medieval features (a ditch and a tree-throw hole), and two parallel curvilinear gullies of uncertain date. Finds from archaeological deposits and the subsoil include pottery, clay tobacco pipe, animal bone and a George V half penny. The archaeological remains lie relatively protected beneath a reasonable depth of soils, whilst the potential for agriculture-related damage is unlikely as the field is known to have been pastureland for at least the period of living memory. |
