Subjects: Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The primary aim of the evaluation was to identify the position of the original mill and the different phases of building and alterations which occurred during its lifetime, and to establish the position of major features such as the mill wheel pit. The project also aimed to investigate the nature of the housing which existed along the south side of Angel Street to the north of the mill [...]

This was the second season of research excavation carried out on the site and comprised three small areas which are extensions to the earlier excavation areas. The excavation occurred between 5th – 20th September 2005. The results from the archaeological investigations at Home Field have highlighted the major period of activity being from the Late Bronze Age into the Middle Iron Age (11th - 7th [...]
Land at 145 Whitehall Road and 79 Newlands Road, Woodford, London - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The DBA comprises principally an appraisal of records held by the Greater London Sites and Monuments (GLSMR) record. It also assesses the cartographic evidence, the historical background of the Site and the impact of previous land use. Due to the Site being an area of woodland for most of its history there is a low potential for deposits containing pre-19th century archaeological remains to be [...]
Sussex House, High Street, Crawley, West Sussex - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
There are 44 archaeological sites and findspots recorded within a 1km radius of the Site ranging in date from the Palaeolithic to the post-medieval period. The vast majority of these sites are medieval, mostly related to ironworking which forms an important part of the heritage of the Borough. There are several areas of known medieval activity close to or immediately adjoining the [...]
Abbey Lane Children's Centre, Abbey Lane, Stratford, E13, London - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
There is archaeological evidence from the Neolithic and Bronze Age in the Study Area which infers local prehistoric presence. An Iron Age settlement is recorded from excavations at Stratford Market Depot to the north east of the Site typified by a complex of pits, postholes and ditches. Roman activity in the area is restricted to the London to Colchester Roman road which runs north west of the [...]
Time Team - Wayneflete Tower, Esher, Surrey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure
Eight trenches were excavated in total, with seven trenches in the garden of Wayneflete Tower and a single trench in 57 Pelhams Walk. They were excavated to evaluate the location, extent, character, date, and significance of any underlying archaeology. The archaeological evaluation was only partially successful in achieving its aims, as it was unable to locate the extent of the complex of [...]
Time Team - Brimham Hall, Hartwith, Harrogate, North Yorkshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
Nine trenches were opened, in the immediate vicinity of the modern farm buildings of Brimham Hall Farm. Two were positioned over the location of Platt’s 1960s investigations and two were subsequently opened adjacent to these to determine the extent of the buildings revealed. Two trenches were subsequently opened over other possible structures where walls had been exposed by cattle trampling, and [...]
Time Team - Applecross Broch, Wester Ross, Highlands - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-03-01
Subjects: Iron Age Structure
The main aims of the project were to determine whether the rubble remains situated on a sandstone outcrop were indeed remnants of an Iron Age broch structure, and if so to define some of its key characteristics, determine its state of preservation, and date it more precisely within the Iron Age. Evidence suggesting that this may be a broch site includes vague documentary references to a stone [...]

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to develop a methodology for undertaking Historic Landscape Characterisations (HLC) for the intertidal and marine zones.
Proposed Commercial Centre, A27, Emsworth, Hampshire - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2006-03-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
The evidence collated in this assessment concludes that the Site has no archaeological potential. Cartographic and documentary evidence suggests that the Site has always been used for agricultural purposes.
Time Team - Blackpatch, Worthing, West Sussex - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-02-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Funerary Site, Prehistoric Artefacts
An archaeological evaluation conducted for Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ in Blackpatch, an area known to be rich in prehistoric archaeology. The site is located on Blackpatch Hill, to the west of Findon Village. The evaluation aimed to characterise the date and nature of previous archaeological findings in the area of Blackpatch, particularly those undertaken by John Pull between 1922 and 1932. A [...]
Time Team - Queenborough Castle, Isle of Sheppey, Kent - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure, Modern Structure
The fieldwork comprised six machine-excavated evaluation trenches. The evaluation area comprised Castle Green, a large, low mound used as a public area of open grassland in the centre of Queenborough. The mound, which lies at the East end of Queenborough High Street, is all that remains of Queenborough Castle and is a Scheduled Monument (SM Kent 23030). Queenborough Castle was completed in [...]
Time Team - Highborough Hill, Eastry Court and Envrions, Eastry, Kent - Assessment of the Results from the Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2005-12-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The geophysical survey and subsequent excavation in the village failed to find any evidence for features or deposits that might be associated with the postulated Anglo- Saxon palace or settlement. Settlement evidence of this date is difficult to locate archaeologically and it is possible that the remains of Anglo-Saxon structures may lie below extant buildings. No further Anglo-Saxon graves [...]
Time Team - Islip, Oxfordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2005-11-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Agriculture, Early Medieval Structure, Medieval Structure
The primary aim of the evaluation was to test the assertion that a chapel dedicated to the first Patron Saint of England, Edward the Confessor, and a Saxon palace or a Royal hunting lodge of his father Æthelred ‘Unræd’, were located within the village. Edward himself is believed to have been born in the village. The chapel was recorded as having been converted into a barn sometime before 1718 and [...]
Time Team - Oliver's Meadow, Gordon's Lodge Farm, Hanslope, Nr Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire - Report on an Archaeological Evaluation and as Assessment of the Results
Published: 2005-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Settlement, Medieval Structure
The results of the Time Team excavations, in conjunction with the ongoing excavations of GLAFS appear to indicate that the two enclosures belong to an enclosed medieval rural settlement. The presence of high status fragments of stonework indicate the presence of a substantial masonry building, but no evidence of this has yet been identified. There is little evidence for activity on the site [...]
