Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in September and October 2015 at land at Oxley Farm, Stoke Orchard, Gloucestershire. 60 trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified two large ring ditches dating to the Middle Iron Age. While these ditches were too large to be associated with domestic structures, their function could not be fully determined although they are most probably representative of stock or domestic compound enclosures. Further, undated, features included two large rectilinear enclosures, two shallow ring ditches and a small number of pits. The results of the fieldwork corroborate those of a preceding geophysical survey, which identified a dense concentration of features in the east of the site. In addition, the evaluation also identified a number of smaller ditches and discrete features which were not indicated on the geophysical survey. Two soilmarks features, previously recorded from aerial photographs in the west of the site, were not identified during the preceding geophysical survey or the current evaluation trenching. |
