Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Longborough Developments to undertake an archaeological trial trench evaluation of c. 1.2ha of land at Badgers Field, Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, centred on OS NGR 415275 238944. The evaluation consisted of 11 trenches, comprising an approximate 2.5% sample of the Site. The results of the evaluation appear to indicate the presence of a small early to mid-Saxon settlement, probably focused off-site immediately to the south-east of the Site, with the majority of the Site occupied by associated field boundary/ enclosure ditches and a trackway. Although many of the larger discrete features identified during the geophysical survey could not be positively identified during evaluation, given the problematic nature of feature identification (e.g. generally low anthropogenic content, very poor differentiation between the underlying parent geology and re-worked parent geology-based feature fills etc.), the similarity in size and shape for some of these anomalies with Saxon sunken-featured buildings should not be overlooked. |
