Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting on behalf of C G Fry and Son (the Client), to carry out an archaeological watching brief during excavation and enlargement of two ponds on Land at Chickerell, Dorset Centred on national grid reference (NGR) 364637, 081004. The monitored works covered a total of 800m². The ponds were located to the east and west of an area of archaeological potential identified in a geophysical survey and archaeological evaluation (Cotswold Archaeology 2016). This consisted of a group of field system enclosure ditches and gullies dated to the latter part of the Romano-British period (post 220-250AD), most likely related to a settlement that lies outside the development area. The watching brief revealed a further enclosure within the field system, and a group of three pits, two of which may well have been natural. Evidence was recovered of some phasing within the field system, in the form of recutting of the enclosure and a date from the earlier part of the Romano-British period (1st-2nd Century AD). |
