Abstract: |
Archaeological field evaluation, via trial trenching, was undertaken by Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd on land at Hardwicke, Gloucestershire, in advance of the construction of a sewerage pipeline. The investigation identified ditches and features relating to occupation and agricultural use of the land between the 12th and 16th centuries. Proximity to probable settlement or domestic activity during the Saxo-Norman period (11th-12th centuries) was suggested in the form of a density of recovered pottery of the period, in the central and south-west areas of the pipeline route. Evidence of probable medieval ridge and furrow agriculture was also identified in the eastern extent of the route. |
