Abstract: |
Headland Archaeology undertook archaeological excavation of a site on land known as Mayo's Land in Hardwicke, Gloucestershire between the 10th May and 8th July 2016. Post-excavation work to date has involved the checking and ordering of the site archive, processing of selected environmental samples, processing of finds, the grouping of archaeological contexts and initial phasing of the site. This report assesses the potential of the archaeological archive and proposes an updated project design for analysis. The investigation revealed evidence of prehistoric occupation. Artefacts of later Neolithic date were recovered as residual finds with a scatter of post-holes of early or middle Bronze Age date identified. Structural remains of two middle Iron Age round-houses with associated pits and ancillary features, a pennanular ditched enclosure, field boundaries and possible enclosure ditch suggest the presence of a small farming settlement. Undated field boundaries, post-holes and pits were also recorded. Post-medieval use of the land was attested in the form of a ridge and furrow field system and former field boundaries. |
