Land adjacent to 10 Walworth Road, Picket Piece, Andover, Hampshire - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2019-08-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Modern Trackway
The strip, map and sample excavation focused on two particular areas, based on a previous evaluation. One area contained several discrete prehistoric features arranged along an east-west axis with artefactual evidence of struck flint from the Neolithic/Bronze Age periods. A single sherd of Romano-British pottery was also recovered. Two intercutting pits to the east of, and aligned with, the [...]
Land South of Tull Way, Thatcham, West Berkshire - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2019-08-01
Subjects: Romano-British Agriculture, Romano-British Settlement
The south-western and northern excavation areas both contained pits and ditches which predominantly dated to the early Romano-British period. The ditches were all likely to be field boundaries, with the possibility that some of them were flanking ditches for trackways. The pits were predominantly small refuse pits. Artefacts have been found dating from the Mesolithic to the post-medieval [...]
Land off Hillside Road, Castle Gresely, Swadlincote, Derbyshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2019-07-01
Subjects: Enclosure, Undated Archaeological Features
The evaluation area spanned three fields. The north-western field contained several ditches, with two large ditches appearing across three trial trenches that were indicative of a bivallate hilltop enclosure. Adjacent shallower ditches potentially formed internal features. The archaeological remains in the eastern field comprised ditches and a pit, and were indicative of a small enclosure. The [...]
Croxton and Garry Site, London Road, Swanscombe, Kent - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2019-06-01
Subjects: No Archaeological Features
Only two of the proposed nine trenches were excavated during this phase of works, with the remaining seven trenches to be undertaken at a later date. Both trenches contained made ground deposits directly overlying the natural geology, indicating the area had been truncated likely during previous chalk quarrying activity, with no archaeological finds or features recorded.
Land at Elmfield House, Petersfinger Road, Salisbury, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2019-06-01
Subjects: Palaeolithic Flint
Only one of the five excavated trenches contained archaeological features: a single spread of in situ burnt material from which worked and burnt flint was recovered. The flints recovered from the feature and the surrounding subsoil are thought to be the product of a single event dating to the Upper Paleolithic (12000- 11000 BP). The probable Final Upper Palaeolithic date and lack of [...]
Hollis Croft, Sheffield, South Yorkshire - Archaeological Report
Published: 2019-06-01
Subjects: Furnace, Modern Industry, Modern Settlement, Post-Medieval Settlement
The remains of two well-preserved mid- to late-19th century cementation furnaces were recorded. The refractory chambers ('chests') of the furnaces had been replaced, probably due to an inadequate provision of flues in the original design. Details of the furnaces were recorded, including the stoke hole entrance doors and the arrangement of 'fire bars' upon which fires were set in the [...]
Highfields Farm - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2019-05-01
Subjects: Iron Age Agriculture, Iron Age Settlement, Medieval Agriculture, Post-Medieval Agriculture, Romano-British Settlement
An isolated pit containing Bronze Age pottery, and a handful of flint (all residual), are the only evidence relating to the earlier prehistoric periods. Evidence for occupation becomes more conspicuous during the late Iron Age, with two near complete roundhouse eaves drip gullies and a network of enclosure ditches thought to belong to this period. However, the majority of the remains on the [...]

One of the cremation graves contained a complete inverted [...]
The Old Vicarage, Anchor Road, Calne - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2019-05-01
Subjects: Medieval Settlement
The investigation confirmed the presence of two substantial north to south orientated ditches, which based on artefactual evidence could date to the medieval period, although were still extant and being infilled in the post medieval period during landscaping within the grounds of the vicarage. The ditches may be part of a boundary demarcating the site of a medieval monastic lodge, which is [...]

Published: 2019-05-01
Subjects: Medieval Agriculture, Post-Medieval Agriculture
The archaeological investigation has identified activity predominantly dating to the medieval, late medieval & post-medieval periods focused to the south of the site.
