Abstract: |
The foundations were excavated with a toothless bucket and dug in the presence of a trained archaeologists. The foundation trenches showed the sequence of deposits. The natural was overlain by a soil horizon likely derived from demolition and levelling activity (103). This was in turn overlain by a garden floor surface comprised of concrete slabs, tarmac and brick. Ground reduction revealed the remains of a U-shaped pit (103) 1m in diameter and 0.65m deep, in the south-east corner of the foundation trenches. The work was carried out in accordance with the Chartered Institute for Archaeologists standard and guidance for an archaeological watching brief (2018). The programme of observation recorded what appeared to be the full section of a pit which seemed likely to be derived early in antiquity. Although not precisely datable,the nature of its fill suggested that it could be prehistoric. Prehistoric pits are known in the region (Sausins 2013). To provide the earliest example in the wider vicinity, a small group of probable Early Neolithic features incorporating pits containing smallcrumbs of pottery and similar fills to this was recorded by the author on the west side of Pillerton Priors (Pearson 2018), approximately 1.8km southwest of the application area. Consequently, it is within reason to consider the possibility of the pit in association with some form of prehistoric activity. |
