Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2015 at Tump Farm, Sedbury, Gloucestershire. Forty trenches were excavated. In the northern field nine trenches contained features, including pits and ditches, probably associated with agricultural activity rather than settlement. One of the ditches, on a north-west/south-east alignment, produced a tiny fragment of pottery and a scraper. In the southern field a metalled surface was recorded (sealed by the subsoil) on a NNE/SSW alignment, lying within a distinct cut/depression. It could be a small local hollow-way. It was not accompanied by any dating evidence, but does not appear on any early 19th century mapping or thereafter - though this may only reflect its lack of significance. A small number of undated ditches and pits were also identified, possibly a continuation of the agricultural activity identified in the northern field. In Trench 26 an undated cremation burial was excavated. There were no other cremations on site and this may have been an isolated burial. |
