Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken between the 23rd and 30th May 2018 on the topsoil strip for four poultry sheds and an associated biomass boiler at Hauxley Farm, Great Stainton, planning reference 17/01187/FULE (NGR NZ 3268 2185). The watching brief recorded a simple stratigraphic sequence of a deep uniform plough soil with only isolated patches of natural subsoil. The plough soil directly overlay the drift geology which had been scored by the deep ploughing in numerous places. All of the potential archaeological geophysical anomalies turned out to either be modern disturbance or variations in the natural geology. A very small assemblage of medieval and 19th century pottery was noted in the plough soil. This consisted of two sherds of 19th century Black Coarse Ware pottery and two sherds of c.12-13th century medieval pottery. This material would seem to represent manuring with midden material over a prolonged period of time. No other archaeological find or features were encountered. |
