The evaluation highlighted the generally good preservation of the Site, although many of the buildings appear to have been of timber with only rough stone foundations. Specialisation and division of different parts of the Site between settlement and working areas was seen. Trenches 1 and 5 were positioned to locate what appears to have been a residential hut. The bedding for a tramway that ran [...]

Subjects: Romano-British Industry, Roman Villa

Eleven trenches were excavated to investigate the extent, character and condition of the Coberley villa remains. The trenches targeted a mosaic pavement discovered by metal detectorists in 2003 and structural remains indicated by geophysical surveying to exist in the vicinity of the mosaic. The remains of a demolished villa were recorded which appeared to have been H-shaped in plan. The [...]

Subjects: Medieval Settlement, Medieval Structure

An evaluation comprising eight trenches largely confirmed the results of the 2007 earthwork survey carried out by English Heritage, while highlighting the different information that can be gained from excavation as opposed to non-intrusive methods. The village of Ulnaby appears to have been occupied for a relatively short period of time beginning in the late 13th or early 14th century, [...]

Subjects: Bronze Age Funerary Site, Iron Age Settlement, Iron Age Structure, Neolithic Structure

The evaluation revealed stratified archaeological deposits potentially dating from the Late Neolithic through to the Iron Age. These included a possible Neolithic building and associated cultivation soil; a number of Early Bronze Age burials within stonelined cists, including inhumations and cremations, radiocarbon dated to 1880-1520 BC; and two Iron Age roundhouses, the earliest dating to [...]

Time Team - Lellizzick, nr Padstow, Cornwall - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-09-01
Subjects: Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure

The project was successful in identifying a roundhouse settlement dating from Romano-British through into the post-Roman period, with evidence of occupation over perhaps five or six centuries, although no definitive evidence for pre-Roman settlement was found. Investigation of the architectural details of the roundhouses indicated a Bronze Age building technique observed on other Cornish sites [...]

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-09-01
Subjects: Iron Age Industry, World War II

A geophysical survey was used in an attempt to help locate the remains on Eaglesfield Park and Eltham Common, but the results proved to be limited in usefulness due to high levels of disturbance, although some possible areas of archaeological activity were located. Most features found during the evaluation proved to be of World War II date, and all five sites proved to have evidence of [...]

Time Team - Hunstrete Grand Mansion, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-08-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure

No structural evidence for the medieval manor house was recovered, although this is in accordance with the known clearance of the site for the construction of the Grand Mansion, and it is possible that some building stone from the medieval house was reused in the latter. A small quantity of residual medieval finds was encountered. The evaluation succeeded in recovering a partial ground plan of [...]

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2008-08-01
Subjects: Iron Age Enclosure, Medieval Agriculture, Romano-British Enclosure

An evaluation comprising eight trenches confirmed the density of Iron Age and Romano-British activity on the Site. Geophysical evidence suggested three main phases of use on three separate alignments. The earliest activity appeared to comprise a number of penannular ditch structures and a north-west – south-east alignment of linear boundaries, thought to be Late Iron Age or early Romano-British [...]

Seven machine-dug trial trenches were excavated and evaluated. These revealed two Iron Age enclosures, one extending beyond the northern boundary of the Site and the other extending beyond the southern boundary into the present Chemring Countermeasures factory area.

This was the fourth season of research excavation by Wessex Archaeology Ltd and members of the general public of a Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age enclosed settlement, and comprised the continuation of excavation of features in Area 3B, which were begun last year. The excavation was carried out between 3rd – 14th September 2006.

Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site

The evaluation revealed that the priory had a similar layout to many religious houses in Britain, based upon a 9th century hypothetical blue-print of the ideal monastery known as the St. Gall Plan. The layout comprised a central cloister with a chapel or church to the north, and ranges of buildings surrounding the remaining three sides. A number of phases of construction were identified, the [...]

Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Defences, Medieval Structure

The evaluation involved the excavation of six trenches, three in the lower court to examine the approaches to the gatehouse and three in the upper court to explore the rear of the extant gatehouse and to trace the curtain wall of the upper court. The trenches in the lower court encountered a large moat, approximately 6m wide and 3m deep, with substantial masonry abutments that would have [...]

Subjects: Anglo-Saxon Artefacts, Anglo-Saxon Settlement, Anglo-Saxon Structure, Iron Age Enclosure, Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Enclosure

Geophysical survey and excavation identified a large ‘D’-shaped enclosure, which proved on excavation to date to the Late Iron Age to Romano-British period. Another possible enclosure was identified lying 120m to the east. In addition, excavation revealed two possible Anglo-Saxon post-built structures, suggesting that the Saxon settlement focus lies to the north-west of the ‘D’-shaped enclosure. [...]
