Abstract: |
This document represents an investigation of the potential for archaeological remains on land off Church Lane, Churcham, Gloucestershire (NGR 376950 218150). The site is already known to contain the remains of a Second World War artillery ammunitions storage facility for which the buildings are in various states of preservation. The proposal as it stands would see the demolition of most of these structures and only the preservation of the one located at the southern end of the site, which is proposed to be retained. The aerial photographs show that there were far more buildings previously located in the camp and one that there is an apparent depression running across the promontory which lies in line with the bank constructed in the 1980s. This depression, imperceptible on the ground, appears to be something potentially earlier a trackway or even an enclosure around the hilltop around the church. The slight depression could possibly be associated with the foundation of the church or could be earlier. It is also possible to recognise that the name Coneygree was originally applied to the field in which the proposal site was located and this is an English name for an enclosure associated with pillow mounds and rabbit farming. |
