Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 12 trenches (all measuring 1.8m in width
and 30m in length). An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2018 on
land south of Poplar Lane, Wickwar, South Gloucestershire. Twelve trenches were
excavated.
A single undated ditch was recorded during the evaluation. The ditch does not align with
modern or historic boundaries, or with adjacent ridge and furrow cultivation remains, hence
the date and function of the ditch remains uncertain.
The site lies within the agricultural hinterland of the medieval village of Wickwar and further
ridge and furrow cultivation identified in the western part of the site during the evaluation, is
indicative of the agricultural use of the site at this time. Two sherds of pottery dating to the
11th to 14th centuries were recovered from subsoil deposits. |
