Abstract: |
.An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January 2016 at land south of Green Lane, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. 23 trenches were excavated. The evaluation trench locations were targeted on anomalies identified using a previous geophysical survey, of these the trenches excavated trenches 2, 5, 7, 15, 20 and 23 contained no archaeology and of those trenches 2, 5 and 23 contained modern features. The remaining trenches produced ditches, pits and postholes with the majority of the archaeology located within Trenches 1, 10, 11, 14, 16 and 17 towards the north-western corner of the site. In the eastern corner of the site trenches 3, 9 and 22 identified several small pits containing large amounts of burnt material including fired clay and CBM, The evaluation results as a whole indicated the presence of 2nd to 3rd Century Romano-British activity in the form of field systems, enclosures and occupation activity predominately found within the north-western part of the site and possible industrial activity towards the south-east. |
