Abstract: |
Between May and October 2007 a programme of archaeological watching brief, evaluation and excavation was undertaken by AOC Archaeology Group at the White Swan, Bishops Waltham. The earliest phase of activity identified on site occurred during the 13th to 14th century, primarily consisting of numerous pits believed to be excavated for the purpose of waste disposal and Brickearth extraction. After a hiatus, activity on site resumed in the 17th to 18th century with presence of further pits with a possible industrial function. A four post temporary structures appears to have be associated with this activity. Sealing this possible industrial activity was a substantial layer of organic soil believed to be associated with small agricultural activity such as market gardening. This soil horizon had subsequently been truncated by the construction of a small brick built cottage at some point in the 18th century. Overall, a high density of archaeological features were identified during the course of the watching brief, evaluation and excavation from the medieval and post-medieval period. |
