Abstract: |
In June 2013 Foundations Archaeology undertook a programme of archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavation in response to an archaeological condition attached to the planning permission for the demolition of an extant house and subsequent construction of a larger dwelling, on land at Simms Cottage, Mill Lane, Hurley. The archaeological works identified, investigated and recorded numerous pit-like features, which were present at the top of natural sand deposits. Despite being subjected to a relatively high sample of hand excavation, there was an almost complete lack of artefacts and a general paucity of charcoal, which suggested that they probably represented natural features, possibly patches of discolouration. There was no other evidence for significant archaeological activity within the investigated areas. |
