Abstract: |
A programme of observation and recording was carried out over a 1540m length of soil stripping associated with groundworks for a flood alleviation scheme to the south of Moreton-in-Marsh. Over the majority of the site, the stripping involved the removal of topsoil and a portion of the subsoil so the geological natural was not exposed. Prominent ridge and furrow was noted in the northern field of the western stripped area, which is likely to be medieval or post-medieval in date. No finds were recorded during the work. This could suggest that the areas stripped have historically been pasture, possibly water meadows, and not subject to manuring, which is the usual process by which material such as pottery and tile is incorporated into the ploughzone. |
