Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Overall, a moderate potential has been identified for the survival of prehistoric and/or Anglo-Saxon archaeological deposits and features within the Site. Archaeological remains could potentially include burials. In our opinion, further archaeological work is likely to be required prior to development, in order to discharge the archaeological condition. This could take the form of archaeological [...]

The results of the evaluation showed that like many sites on Man the cist cemetery belonged to the pre-Norse period, which was confirmed by radiocarbon dating to belong to the 6th to 7th century AD, the samples taken from three burials. The keeill was shown to be later than the cemetery as it was built upon an earlier grave which was subsequently disturbed. It was constructed in a typical [...]

Folkestone Road Depot, East Ham, London E6 - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2007-07-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

The Site is situated within a designated Archaeological Priority Area, in proximity to a riverine environment in a Study Area which reflects a low level of prehistoric activity. A low potential exists for the recovery of related deposits in areas of the Site previously subjected to lower levels of ground intrusion. The Site occupied marshland/reclaimed agricultural land until the late 19th [...]

Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Overall, a high level of recorded archaeology is represented within the Study Area. A moderate-high potential for the survival of archaeological deposits within the Site footprint has been identified. Predicted archaeology at the Site may represent evidence of the Norman inner precinct wall, garden related medieval and post-medieval activity prior to the laying out of Red Lion Street. [...]

Land at Blyth Road, Hayes, London Borough of Hillingdon - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2007-07-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Assessment of the Site suggests that there has been a high level of ground disturbance due to the extraction of brickearth on the Site during the 19th century. The potential for the survival of buried archaeological remains prior to this date are therefore considered to be very low. There are no Listed Buildings within the Site footprint; the closest Listed Building lies c. 200m to the north [...]

Subjects: Historic Building

A study of the buildings and landscape of Swallowfield Park, Berkshire, has been carried out to inform the preparation of a Conservation Plan for the long-term management of the estate. The purpose of this study was to provide, through documentary research and site investigation, a baseline level of information on each of the historic components of the estate, and an assessment of their [...]

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2007-07-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

The building recording was carried out on 24th April and 11th June 2007. This and the study of historical evidence showed that the main Listed Building was probably built in the 18th century following a fire in 1702. Brickwork from this period survives as well as one internal door with L-shaped hinges.

Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

No archaeological sites or findspots were identified within the Site, but 17 sites of archaeological and historical interest were identified within a Study Area extending 1km around it. These included a large Bronze Age round barrow c. 100m north-east of the Site. Its excavation in 1947 revealed that it had been the focus of burial activity during the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman period and [...]

Time Team - Harold's House, Portskewett, Monmouthshire, South Wales - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure

The evaluation comprised the excavation of six trial trenches, combined with geophysical survey, landscape survey and geoarchaeological (auger) survey. No evidence of the pre-Norman conquest hunting lodge was identified, but the earthworks were revealed as probably belonging to the manorial complex of the Deneband family. Areas of human and animal accommodation were identified as well as [...]

Subjects: Bronze Age Funerary Site, Romano-British Defences

No clear date for the earthworks was revealed. However, the project was successful in the identification of large enclosing defensive ditches through both geophysical survey and excavation. The geophysical survey revealed the extent of the enclosure but was unable to reveal any contemporary structures within it, due to the effects of later ploughing. A possible Bronze Age cist grave was [...]

Time Team - Dotton Mill, Dotton, Near Otterton, Devon - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2007-04-01
Subjects: Modern Industry, Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure

The evaluation did not reveal any structures or features which could be dated to the medieval period. The rebuilding of the mill in the 17th or 18th century, potentially on the site of the original mill, and the re-digging of the leat at a similar time, is likely to have either removed or masked any evidence of the medieval mill. The project did, however, identify the type of mill which had [...]

Time Team - Poulton Hall, Pulford, Cheshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results

Wessex Archaeology

Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure

As a result of the Time Team evaluation, it appears likely that the Abbey was never built at Poulton Hall. The evaluation suggested potential alternative sites for the Abbey through the analysis of the historical mapping, aerial photography and topography of the area. The most likely location is in and around the area of the small chapel. The earliest phases of activity at the Poulton Hall [...]

Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment

Using the physical wreck as a starting point, this assessment has examined information relating to the loss of the Mendi, from both primary and secondary sources. An appraisal of what is known about the wreck itself has also been carried out, based on available survey data and information gathered from the diving community. The project has then considered the wreck of the Mendi in its wider [...]
