Abstract: |
Earlier archaeological work immediately to the north and west of the development area had identified dispersed Roman activity, while Hardwicke village almost certainly has a Saxon origin. Thus the potential for archaeological remains in the development area led to the requirement of a strip, map and sample of the house, garage and road footprints by the Senior Archaeological Officer, Gloucestershire County Council (acting on behalf of Stroud District Council). The total strip area was approximately 74.5m northwest-southeast by 18.5m northeast-southwest, comprising three separate closely-spaced areas (two house plots and one garage/road plot) totalling 525m2. Features uncovered comprised a northwest-southeast aligned gully, a possible corner of a rectilinear enclosure in the eastern part of the development area and thinly spread treethrows. A shallow probable mid to late Iron Age rectilinear enclosure was situated in the eastern part of the development area, it had been heavily truncated by a Modern ditch, a Modern drain and by root action. It was aligned northeastsouthwest/northwest-southeast and its extent is unknown, continuing further to the northeast under the lawn of Wayland and south into the fields around Hardwicke. The treethrows and a northwest-southeast aligned gully appear to be relatively recent, as they cut the subsoil, however, no dating material was present within any of the fills. |
