Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the excavation of 13 trenches, each measuring 50m in
length by 1.8m in width, in the locations shown on the attached plan.
The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a
representative sample of the remainder of the site. In October 2021, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at
Brokenbury Solar Farm. A total of 13 trenches were excavated.
Evidence for an Early Iron Age enclosure was recorded in the northern part of the site,
corroborating previously identified cropmarks and geophysical survey evidence. No clear
evidence was identified for domestic activity within the enclosure, although a small quantity
of undated pits, postholes and ditches were found in the vicinity and may be related.
Evidence for post-medieval agricultural land-division was also recorded, correlating to former
field boundaries shown on historic mapping. |
