Abstract: |
In September 2015 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Countryside Cattery to undertake an archaeological trench evaluation at the land off Quab Lane, Wedmore, Somerset. A planning application was submitted to Sedgemoor District Council for the construction of a a new residential dwelling, agricultural livestock dwelling, and cattery. Sedgemoor District Council required the undertaking of evaluation fieldwork before planning permission is determined. The remains of a Romano-British settlement and prehistoric barrows, ring ditches and enclosures are known within the immediate environs of the proposed development area. The evaluation trenching was carried out to establish whether archaeological remains existed within the proposed area of development in reference a geophysical survey carried out in August 2015. Trench 1 contained two ditches. One of these (F106) produced Romano-British pottery. The other ditch (F104) produced daub, likely of a similar date. These ditches are, therefore, considered to be of archaeological significance. The remains of a post-medieval wall present in Trench 3 is considered to be of little archaeological significance |
