Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June and July 2015 at Beech Farm Solar Park, Stanton Fitzwarren, Swindon. Seven trenches were excavated. Evidence for ridge and furrow agriculture was identified in four of the trenches, confirming the interpretation of a geophysical survey. The ridge and furrow appeared to follow three distinct alignments, suggesting that the site had previously been divided into three separate furlongs. Historical mapping shows that the site has been one field since at least 1876, suggesting that the ridge and furrow may have a medieval or post-medieval origin. No features pre-dating the ridge and furrow were identified during the evaluation. |
