Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Lilley Brook Golf Course, Charlton Kings, Gloucestershire (NGR SO 95976 19241). It was undertaken on behalf of Grassroots Planning Limited, for Lilley Brook Golf Course, who intend for the importation of inert material to landscape the site, for which a planning application will be submitted. Eleven trenches were excavated across a field used for golf practice. This field sat on the lower slopes of a hill. A colluvial deposit of varying thickness was observed across the site, mainly on the western and central parts. This contained Iron Age pottery and earlier prehistoric flints, indicating that some forms of activity had occurred further up the hill in the ancient past. The in situ archaeological remains consisted of a later Iron Age or Roman ditch, that was probably associated with low level agricultural activity, and an undated pit and ditch. There was a series of truncated medieval furrows at the bottom of the slope in the north end of the field. |
