Chelsea Academy Training Ground, Cobham, Surrey - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-06-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Agriculture, Bronze Age Artefacts, Medieval Artefacts
The evaluation located a concentration of possible Bronze Age archaeological activity comprising at least five separate ditches at the eastern end of the Site. A further two isolated ditches with similar characteristics were found towards the centre and western end of the Site. The lack of finds from these features suggests that they were probably not located in the vicinity of a settlement and [...]

Published: 2004-05-01
Subjects: Romano-British Structure
The evaluation consisted of four trenches excavated within the Scheduled Area to re-examine the remains exposed in 1882.

Broadwater Road, Thamesmead London Borough of Greenwich - Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Published: 2004-04-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
There is only limited evidence for human activity in the Study Area from the Prehistoric to the early historic period and no indication of a specific focus on the Site itself. In the Post-Medieval period, major developments occurred to the west of the Site, with the construction of the Royal Dockyards and Ordnance Storehouses at Woolwich from 1518, and particularly the sequence of ordnance [...]
Oldfurnace Cottage and Eastwall Farm, Oakamoor, Staffordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Industry, Medieval Industry
The results of the work at Oldfurnace Cottage confirmed that iron smelting using the bloomery process, with associated pottery of 13th-14th century date, was well established on the site in the medieval period. However an unstratified sherd of Late Saxon pottery suggested that iron working on the site may have begun as early as the 10th-11th century. The bloomery slag was overlain by large [...]
1 Old Queen Street Westminster - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-medieval Artefacts
One of five geotechnical test pits contained evidence for the presence of riverine deposits comprising layers of peat and a second pit contained evidence of rubbish dumping dating from the medieval and Post-medieval periods. Deposits were located in two more pits but these appear to have been disturbed and no dating evidence was recovered to determine their archaeological significance. The fifth [...]
Former Vauxhall Garage Bury Road, Thetford, Norfolk - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts
Six of the ten test pits contained archaeological deposits. These comprised layers and ditch/pit features. Pottery sherds recovered from deposits in three test pits date to the Late Saxon/Early Medieval period. Considerable quantities of bone displaying butchery marks were also recovered from deposits in six of the test pits. This reflects the findings of a previous evaluation of the [...]
Land West of Radlett Aerodrome Frogmore, St Albans - Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Site is located in an area where prehistoric activity is evident through the discovery of early prehistoric flint work and later prehistoric evidence for occupation. The Site is located due east of the Roman road known as Watling Street and is situated between the Roman settlements of Verulanium (St Albans) to the north and Sullonicae (Brockley Hill) to the south. Settlement and related [...]
Granite Wharf, Greenwich London Borough of Greenwich - Archaeological Desk-based Assessment
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Archaeological evidence has been gained from the Site with the presence of the magazine building but it and earlier deposits will have been removed by 19th century brickearth extraction across part of the Site. The recorded artefactual finds from prehistory are mainly due to the near locality of the river, with finds washed up along the foreshore and the discovery of a Bronze Age trackway and [...]
Stratford Centre London Borough of Newham - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2004-02-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The historical and archaeological evidence suggests that there is possible potential for archaeological remains of all periods, and in particular a high potential for Roman remains. The possible presence of prehistoric and Saxon deposits of high significance, due to their rarity and favourable preservation conditions, is also noted.
Roxburgh, Floors Castle Estate, Kelso, Scotland - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Settlement
A modest assemblage of medieval finds, including mostly pottery and animal bone, was recovered, along with food remains such as oyster shells, hazelnuts, and grains of oats, hulled barley, wheat and rye. No structural evidence for the churches of the Holy Sepulchre or St James’ were recorded. A carved key stone in trench 4 may have derived from an ecclesiastical building, otherwise the presence [...]

Work was carried out on the 16th and 17th December 2003 and involved the excavation of two trenches totalling 25m² in area. Both trenches revealed evidence of significant Post-medieval and modern disturbance comprising layers of demolition and levelling and a number of discrete features. Evidence of medieval activity was located in one trench in the form of a pit containing a fragment of [...]
Park Mill Farm Princes Risborough Buckinghamshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Iron Age Settlement
The majority of trenches contained little or no remains of archaeological interest. However, a concentration of features, including pits, postholes and ditches containing Early to Middle Iron Age pottery, was found in the southern part of the evaluation area. The remains suggest that there is a focus of late prehistoric settlement activity in this part of the Site.

In this area, some trenches revealed stratified [...]
