Abstract: |
The fieldwork comprised the excavation of 23 trenches, each measuring 25m in
length and 2m in width, in the locations shown on the attached plan.
Trenches 1, 3, 4, 9, 10, 11 and 16 were moved due to on site constraints. Trench 7
was shortened by 3m due to the presence of a modern field boundary. Trench 5 was
not excavated as both a modern field boundary and an underground service cable
ran through the proposed location of the trench. An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2017 on
land north of St Johns Way, Chipping Sodbury, South Gloucestershire. A total of 23 trenches
was excavated.
A pit and two ditches were identified in close proximity to a pond in the north-east of the site.
While all these features contained prehistoric artefacts, the area was noted to have been
subject to multiple instances of pond excavation which may have resulted in the redeposition
of materials.
A sherd of late prehistoric/Roman pottery was recovered from the surface of a ditch in the
south-west of the site.
A small number of undated pits and postholes were also identified, including one with a
charcoal-rich fill. |
