Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at land at Hill View, Church Road, Icomb, Gloucestershire (NGR SP 21098 23012). It was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of Rural Solutions Ltd, who, along with their client, PLPP Management Ltd intend to construct a single dwelling for which a planning application has been submitted to Cotswold District Council. The site comprises three pasture fields to the north west of the village of Icomb. Six trenches were excavated across the site which were partly positioned to test anomalies identified on a preceding geophysical survey and partly to test the quality of capture from the survey in blank areas. A possible Iron Age enclosure ditch was recorded in a trench to the south corresponding with an anomaly on the geophysical survey which appears to form a square enclosure. The fills all contained high levels of stone, and Prehistoric pottery and animal bone was retrieved from the upper fill of this ditch. A ditch orientated east-west across the central part of the site was recorded and is interpreted as a post-medieval field boundary based on its form and the finds recovered from the fill which included clay pipe and pottery dating to 17th-18th centuries. A single sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the topsoil. Other features recorded were related to modern drainage. |
