Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2014 at Lower Severalls Farm, Crewkerne. The area of excavation measured 30m x 30m square and was targeted on archaeology recorded during a trial trench evaluation carried out in September 2014 at the site The excavation revealed four gullies and one ditch, several of which were identified during the evaluation. The evaluation had also identified a spread of dark material thought to be part of a possible Holloway. The excavation was able to show that this was not archaeological and is possibly a result of modern farming activity within the area. Two of the gullies were running parallel to each other and probably form part of a field boundary or delineate a former track way. The other identified gullies and ditches are likely to be part of a former field system. Although undated it is possible that the features date to the later prehistoric period and at the very most based on their alignments clearly pre-date the post-medieval/modern field boundaries of the present day. |
