Time Team - Les Gellettes, Jersey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4’s Time Team at the site of the German 2nd Battery of mixed anti-aircraft battalion 364 to the south of Les Gellettes on the island of Jersey. The Battery was constructed following the Occupation of the island in July 1940 and contained six 88mm and three 20mm anti-aircraft guns, just a small percentage of the 165 anti-aircraft guns recorded [...]

Time Team - Langport Ranges, High Ham, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-10-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Settlement, Roman Villa
The evaluation was successful in its stated aims in providing a detailed geophysical plan of the wider area around the villa, identifying that it was a much larger complex than initially thought, and by identifying at least two phases of villa construction. The earliest phase is potentially dated on artefactual evidence to the late 2nd to early 3rd centuries AD, but remains slightly ambiguous as [...]

Time Team - Cunetio Roman Town, Mildenhall, Marlborough, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-07-01
Subjects: Romano-British Defences, Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure
Cunetio is a Scheduled Monument (AM666) of national importance. Aerial photographs and early geophysical survey, coupled with very limited excavation, have established the ground plan of the town but almost nothing is known of its significance and changing form during the Roman period. The project aimed to carry out a limited programme of non-intrusive investigations and evaluation trenching [...]
The Boat House, Cobden Avenue, Southampton - Geoarchaeological Assessment Report
Published: 2011-06-01

Time Team - Tottiford Reservoir - Dartmoor National Park, Devon - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-06-01
Subjects: Mesolithic Flint Scatter, Prehistoric Artefacts, Prehistoric Ceremony
A combination of evaluation and geophysical survey confirmed the presence of the stone circle, estimated to be around 25m in diameter and to have contained between nine and 18 stones. The Tottiford stone circle brings the total of free-standing stone circles on Dartmoor to 15. No suitable dating material was obtained for this feature, although a concentration of probable later Mesolithic worked [...]
Palaeolithic Material from Dunbridge, Hampshire - Deposit Modelling Report
Published: 2011-04-01
Subjects: Geoarchaeology, Palaeolithic Flint
The results have demonstrated that there are two distinct Pleistocene terrace deposits within the study area. An upper terrace, original called the Dunbridge Unit, can with confidence be related to the Belbin Stage, which is supported by the high number of Palaeolithic finds recovered from it. A lower terrace, original called the Barley Hill Unit, can be related to the Mottisfont Stage. The [...]
Time Team - Buck Mill, Stoke Trister, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-04-01
Subjects: Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation trenches within the standing remains of the post-medieval mill identified particular zones of activity, both domestic and industrial. The probable kitchen and living quarters of the mill were revealed, as was the meal floor, the cog pit and the wheel pit, with remains of the iron water wheel still in situ. Documentary references suggest that this mill was built in the mid-16th [...]

Published: 2011-03-01
Subjects: Marine Archaeology
The aim of the project was to identify significant existing datasets, assess their value for cultural heritage purposes and to make a series of recommendations for enhancement of the marine HER. The project is intended to inform and support both the work of Historic Scotland to safeguard the coastal and marine environment, and the role of the Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical [...]
Time Team - Groby Old Hall, Groby, Leicestershire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Settlement, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Settlement, Post-Medieval Structure
An evaluation comprising eight trenches demonstrated a complex sequence of buildings on the Site. Initially, the focus of occupation was likely to have been the defensive motte, keep and bailey ditch in the northern part of the Site. This early castle was built by Hugh de Grantmesnil in the late 11th century, and may have been slighted by Henry II in 1176 after a siege. The evaluation by Time [...]
Time Team - Mont Orgueil Castle Gorey, St Martin, Jersey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure, Prehistoric Artefacts
The evaluation, comprising eight trenches, uncovered part of the medieval northern defences of the Castle as well as identifying some possible prehistoric activity.
Time Team - Llancaiach Fawr Manor Treharris, Caerphilly, Gwent - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The Time Team evaluation, comprising eight trenches, found no conclusive evidence of any medieval structure (or associated activity) thought to have occupied the Site prior to the current Manor House, although one fragment of medieval roof tile was recovered in a later deposit. Activity in the vicinity of the house was predominantly post-medieval and modern, associated with the use of the Manor [...]
Time Team - Northern Green, Westminster Abbey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-12-01
Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Religious Practice, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation aimed to further investigate these remains. Fieldwork consisted of five machine-excavated trial trenches as well as geophysical and topographic surveys. The trenches examined salient features of the Lshaped structure. The use of a distinctive mortar was found to unify and characterise all elements of this structure, showing it to be of a single phase of construction, although at [...]
