Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken between the 18th and 20th June 2014 by Foundations Archaeology on land at the former Blount's Court Nursery, Studley, Wiltshire. The evaluation revealed that the site contained a thin nursery/garden soil onto a natural strong orange sand with outcroppings of sandstone. No features of archaeological significance were present; a modern pit (Trench 6), a field drain (Trench 5), two water pipes (Trenches 1 and 11) and former glasshouse footings (Trench 13) were identified cut into the natural sands, which were heavily disturbed by root action and, in the cases of Trenches 2 and 10, by rabbit burrowing. Despite the likely potential of the site to contain Roman features, it does not appear to have been utilised during that period for any activity which might have left a trace in the physical record. No archaeological finds or features were identified within the evaluated area. |
