Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at the request of Cotswold Archaeology on behalf of J.S. Bloor Ltd, at land east of the Coach and Horses public house, Bourton-on-the- Water, Gloucestershire (NGR ref SP 1690 2185; SMR ref CHBW06). The evaluation consisted of nine trenches located in a field to the south of the Fosse Way, the Roman road linking Exeter and Lincoln. The evidence from the evaluation was of a very limited nature and suggested that no major activity was located on the site. Only two features of any note were observed, an east to west aligned limestone drain/culvert and a similarly aligned ditch, both of which occupied the north-west corner of the field adjacent to the Coach and Horses public house. The limestone feature could be given a post-medieval date, though the ditch was unfortunately undated. Both appeared to have functioned to drain the field towards the low-lying ground to the north-east corner of the site. No evidence of Roman activity was noted. The examination of all recovered finds indicated that there is no evidence for significant on-site activity. All finds from the medieval to modern periods appear to be the result of manuring or the discard of general rubbish, implying a prolonged agricultural usage for this area. |
