Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2011 at the request of NJL Consulting on behalf of Bloor Homes at land south-west of Brickkiln Wood. Forty seven trenches were excavated. A small number of features were identified across the site, the majority probably associated with post-medieval and modern agricultural works, field boundaries and clay extraction. There was a possible enclosure near the centre of the site; this is undated but the character of the ditch fills suggests that it is comparatively recent in date. With the exception of a single, small pit near the centre of the site that may be prehistoric in date, no earlier features were identified and there were no residual finds from the topsoil and subsoil that predated the 19th century. However, four pieces of worked flint, one from a tree throw, one residual find from the enclosure ditch and two from the surface of the substrate, indicate limited prehistoric activity in the area. |
