Abstract: |
The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of four 10m x 1.8m trenches. The trenches were located to provide a representative sample of the site outside of the standing building footprints. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. In May 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological
evaluation at Burnt House Farm, North Newton, Somerset. A total
of four trenches were excavated within the site.
The evaluation recorded a post-medieval ditch, a post-medieval
sheep burial and a modern pit. The ditch presumably relates to a
former field boundary, although no corresponding boundary is
visible on historic cartographic sources. |
