Loch Migdale, Sutherland, Highlands, Scotland - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Settlement, Neolithic Ceremony, Neolithic Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and trial trenches, which were located across a crannog, a henge and a hut circle. The opportunity was also taken to examine a number of additional features, including a cairn, two hollows and a shieling. The evaluation has produced important new information on the prehistory of the area.
Green Island Poole Harbour, Dorset - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Iron Age Industry, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Industry, Romano-British Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and the excavation of three small trenches and five test pits. There was evidence for industrial activity, specifically shale-working and iron smithing, in the Late Iron Age and into the Early Roman period. A small range of other items, such as the rotary quern, worked flint and iron nails may also have had an industrial purpose. These [...]
Joseph Chamberlain College Birmingham - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Very little was noted either from the SMR data or through the map regression exercise, with only Roman stray finds of coins and Post-medieval structural evidence in the environs of the Site. Impact from the construction of the retail complex will be slight due to the intention to surcharge the present land levels and then discretely pile through the raised level.
Suffolk House, George Street London Borough of Croydon - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
Prehistoric activity from all periods is attested in this area of Croydon. Roman and medieval settlement and cemeteries appear to be concentrated to the south and west of Suffolk House; activity in the area of the Site, especially in the medieval period, is likely to have been rural in character and not have produced significant archaeological remains. In the Post-medieval period development was [...]
Land at Gambia Street, London SE1 London Borough of Southwark - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-11-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Site is located between two crossing railway viaducts and two roads, with the Jubilee Line beneath. It has had both residential and commercial properties on the area and the street names have been changed from the original Charlotte Street (now Union Street) and William Street (now Gambia Street). Prior to the roads being in place (before the late 18th century) the area was used as tenter [...]
Carrick Council Offices Site Pydar Street, Truro, Cornwall - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-11-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The desk based assessment has demonstrated that there is a low potential for the survival of Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic material on the Site. The likelihood for Iron Age, Roman and Post-Roman Dark Age material is considered to be moderate to low. The greatest potential for archaeological remains on the Site lies in the medieval, Postmedieval and modern periods. The Site lay within [...]
LEC Refrigeration Site, Shripney Rd Bognor Regis, West Sussex - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2003-11-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The Desk-Based Assessment has demonstrated that there is a low potential for the survival of Palaeolithic deposits in the form of a ‘raised beach’ on the Site. Whilst the potential for the presence of these deposits is low, their importance requires a scheme for mitigating the possible effects of this mitigation. We cannot be certain, however, that these deposits have not suffered significant [...]
Syon House, Syon Park, Hounslow - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Bridgettine Abbey and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site
The archaeological evaluation was successful in achieving the aims and objectives of the project. The geophysical survey produced results of sufficient clarity to enable an interpretative plan of part of the Brigittine abbey to be proposed. The eight trenches demonstrated the validity of much of the geophysical survey results and provided detail on the location, layout and extent of the abbey [...]
Zinch House, Station Road, Stogumber, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure
Zinch House is of 15th or 16th century origin and lies in the south of the village of Stogumber, Somerset, which is of at least medieval origin. One test pit was targeted to relocate the remains of an outbuilding to Zinch House shown on a Tithe map of 1840. The second test pit aimed to examine land to the north-west of Zinch House to test for settlement remains associated with the medieval [...]
The Prebendal Manor House, Nassington, Northamptonshire - Archaeological Feld Evaluation and Post Excavation Assessment
Published: 2003-09-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Settlement, Iron Age, Post-Medieval Industry
The present archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey, three handdug trenches within the present manor house and two hand-dug test pits and four machine-dug trial trenches located across the site. Geophysical survey was also undertaken on land to the south of the Prebendal Manor House where crop marks, unrelated to the manor complex, were known. The results of the evaluation [...]
Land to the south and east of Mill House, Brayford Wharf North Lincoln - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2003-09-01
Subjects: Modern Structure
The trench was excavated initially to 5m x 2m in plan to a depth of 1.20m, scanned and recorded then doubled in size, a further probe with the machine was undertaken in the eastern half of the trench. No dated archaeological deposits were recorded and the water table was reached in the trench at a depth of c1.30m The sequence of deposition within the trench was modern in date consisting of [...]
Riversfield Mill, Little Paxton Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2003-09-01
Subjects: No Archaeological Features, No Archaeology
No archaeological features or deposits were found in any of the trenches. The evaluation revealed that the north-east corner of the plot may have been levelled in order to create a football pitch and that the north-west corner had been subjected to disturbance for the placement of services and the extraction of gravels.
1 Stamford Street, London SE1 London Borough of Southwark - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2003-09-01
Subjects: Post-Medieval Structure
The only deposits and finds of archaeological significance were recorded in Trench 1, partially preserved in the northern extent of the trench despite widespread modern disturbance. The archaeological features and deposits included a short section of mortared brick wall of 18th – 19th century date. The wall was sealed by a number of Post-medieval redeposited alluvial clays (backfill) [...]
Castle Hill, Ipswich, Suffolk - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-07-01
Subjects: Roman Villa
The archaeological evaluation aimed to establish the position of the Roman villa as recorded by Brown within the present landscape, to establish its full extent, including the presence or absence of wings, and to evaluate the present condition of the remains. The work provided evidence as to the current condition of the site, revealing that most of the stratigraphy on the site has been [...]
Dolphin Hotel, 34-35 High Street, Southampton - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2003-06-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Settlement, Modern Settlement, Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Settlement, Post-Medieval Structure, Romano-British Artefacts
Trench 1 was not fully excavated to the natural brickearth, though where revealed the brickearth was found to be cut by a series of stake holes; two of which yielded Romano-British and Anglo-Norman pottery. Medieval and Post-medieval dumps, levelling episodes and the cobbled remnant of a 19th century stable block floor sealed these features. Trench 2 revealed substantial evidence of domestic [...]
