Abstract: |
The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the approved WSI (CA 2015).
The location of the excavation area was agreed with Charles Parry (GCC), and was
informed by the results of the preceding archaeological evaluation (CA 2014). The
excavation area was set out on OS National Grid (NGR) co-ordinates using Leica
GPS and surveyed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 4: Survey Manual. It
was scanned for live services by trained CA staff using CAT and Genny equipment
in accordance with the CA Safe System of Work for avoiding underground services.
A previously unknown north/south orientated buried electric cable was identified and
a 3m wide exclusion zone established either side of it. An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January and
February 2016 on land at Parklands Farm, Whitminster, Gloucestershire. The excavation
area was located in the central-eastern extent of the development area, targeted upon
features identified during a preceding archaeological evaluation.
The excavation revealed an evolving agricultural landscape consisting of the undated
ditches and pits, the latter largely interpreted as quarry scoops, which were subsequently
superceded by two phases of ridge and furrow cultivation of presumed medieval and/or post-medieval date. |
