Abstract: |
The site lies in an area of high archaeological potential. Work by Cotswold Archaeology since 2010 at Old Park Farm, Park Farm, and south of the B3181 at Pinn Court Farm has identified extensive Mid and Late Bronze Age, as well as Early to Late Iron Age activity, including pits, ditches, enclosures, roundhouses and ring ditches. In addition, linears dating to the Roman period were also identified and are likely to form a north-west/south-east orientated field system. Finally, evidence for medieval activity comprising pits and ditches containing 12th to 14th-century pottery was also recovered. An evaluation was carried out prior to the start of groundworks. Four trenches, measuring 28m in total, were excavated, covering the footprint of the proposed development. The layer sequence revealed by the trenching typically consisted of the following: 0-0.6m mid reddish brown silty clay and redeposited clay natural (modern made ground) 0.6-0.85m dark reddish brown silty clay (topsoil) 0.85-1.1m mid reddish brown silty clay (subsoil) 1.1m+ mid orange red clayey sand and limestone outcrop (natural subsoil) The trench evaluation constitutes a thorough examination of the site, with trenches positioned to provide a comprehensive sample of those areas affected by the development. Made ground deposit have been confirmed, across the whole of the site, but the total removal of this material within trenches 1-3 has failed to reveal any evidence for buried archaeological features or deposits. |
