Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and recording was carried out by AC archaeology ahead of groundworks. The site covers 0.06 hectares The site lies at around 38m above Ordnance Datum, with the underlying solid geology comprising slate, siltstone and sandstone of the Meadfoot Group (www.bgs.ac.uk). The main archaeological interest for the site is that it is located to the east of a probable Bronze Age scheduled round barrow cemetery (DCC HER ref. MDV63930; National Heritage for England ref. 1019788). The Charleton tithe map of 1840 shows that the site was part of an orchard at that time. One L-shaped machine-excavated trench measuring 1.4m wide and 13m long NW-SE and 8m NE-SW within the footprint of the proposed new building was monitored. One feature was exposed which may have been a hollow or wide ditch and was probably of late post-medieval or modern date. |
