Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Yiangou Architects LLP to undertake an archaeological watching brief during the initial ground works associated with redevelopment at Shipton Oliffe Manor, Shipton Oliffe, Cheltenham, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR 403782 218494). A Written Scheme of Investigation (WA 2012) detailing the methodology to be used during the archaeological watching brief and the final reporting was submitted to, and approved by, Cotswold District Council before the commencement of work. Shipton Oliffe Manor House has an early/mid-17th century core with numerous 19th and 20th century alterations and extensions, the latter by the well-known architect Norman Jewson. Given the manor house's location in the heart of the village and its proximity to the Grade I listed 12th/13th century parish church of St Oswald 75m to the north-west, the Site had high potential for the presence of earlier medieval features. The archaeological watching brief has revealed no significant archaeological remains, and identified large amounts of modern disturbance throughout the entire trench. Medieval pottery recovered from the watching brief, and in particular the basal subsoil overlying natural geology suggests medieval activity in the vicinity, though no archaeological remains were identified that might be associated with this activity. The level of modern disturbance encountered, and the depth to which it was recorded, suggests that had archaeological remains been present, they may have been wholly removed by more recent modern activity. |
