Abstract: |
The excavation comprised two areas (Area 1 and Area 2) either side of a footpath
which bisected the site; together, these amounted to 6000m2. An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in January and
February 2020 at Land South of Lyde Green, Emerson’s Green, South Gloucestershire.
The earliest remains dated to the early to mid 1st century AD when a roundhouse was
constructed, accompanied by a few pits and short ditches. This was seemingly unenclosed,
although an enclosure ditch containing later Roman pottery possibly originated during this
earlier period. A series of enclosures were then laid out across the site, beginning in the late
1st–early 2nd centuries and continuing in use, with modifications and additions, into the 3rd
century. These seem to have been associated with livestock farming, and the site probably
represents part of a small farmstead. There was no evidence for continued use after the 3rd
century, by which time a villa had been established at Hallen Farm, some 450m distant. It is
possible that the Lyde Green site had by then become part of the villa estate, with the land
re-organised, perhaps for arable farming or open grazing, activities which have left no
archaeological trace within the site. |
