Glossop Road, Gamesley, Derbyshire - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2019-09-30
Subjects: Neolithic, Post-Medieval Agriculture, Undated Archaeological Features
The excavation was carried out to investigate the proposed course of a Roman road, believed to pass through the area on a north-west to south-east alignment. During the strip, map and record exercise no evidence of a Roman road was observed. A modern recut within the field boundary was also recorded. A soil sample taken from the earlier ditch was found to coal/clinker, slag and hammerscale, [...]

Land South of Tull Way, Thatcham, West Berkshire - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2019-07-31
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 adjacent to 10 Walworth Road, Picket Piece, Andover, Hampshire - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2019-07-31
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 west of Ham Lane, Lenham, Kent - Post-excavation Assessment

The archaeological investigation revealed a low level of activity provisionally dated to the prehistoric and post-medieval periods. A total of 11 distinct archaeological features were recorded, comprising a field boundary ditch, a drainage ditch and a ditch terminus, three ditch segments and five pits including a placed pottery vessel. A number of tree throws dispersed across the site were [...]
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 [...]
Hollis Croft, Sheffield, South Yorkshire - Archaeological Report
Published: 2019-05-31
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 [...]
Croxton and Garry Site, London Road, Swanscombe, Kent - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2019-05-31
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: 2019-05-31
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 [...]
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 [...]
