Time Team - St Osyth, Essex - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2005-06-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Religious Site, Early Medieval Settlement, Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Settlement
Small quantities of prehistoric, Roman and Saxon material were recovered, adding to our scant knowledge of these periods in St Osyths’ history. The Domesday Survey mentions St Osyth, which was clearly a thriving settlement before the founding of the first Abbey on the site in AD 1121. The early medieval period saw a marked expansion in St Osyth’s prosperity and in population. Time Team’s work [...]

The Wemyss Caves are well known for their Pictish carvings – the largest single collection of Pictish carvings known – which occur in five of the nine recorded caves. Five trenches were excavated within the interior of three of these caves (Jonathan’s Cave, the Well Cave and Sliding Cave), with a further two trenches sited outside the entrance of Well Cave. Furthermore, a section of the eroding [...]

Time Team - Chenies Manor, Chenies, Buckinghamshire - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Tudor Manor House and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2005-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation revealed evidence for a phase of 12th and 13th century occupation on the Site, in the form of a number of features cut in to the natural drift geology of the site. Two parallel ditches were excavated in Trench 2, whilst removal of areas of the Tudor and Post-medieval garden soil in Trench 12 revealed two substantial features that may represent either pits or ditch termini. [...]
Time Team - New Moreton Farm, Standish, Gloucestershire - Interim Report on an Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2004-12-01
Subjects: Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Funerary Site, Romano-British Settlement
The main evidence for Iron Age activity was recorded in Trench 4, in the form of a penannular gully, c. 15m across with an east facing entrance, probably bounding a roundhouse. As well as a possible entrance structure, a deposit of several Iron Age pots, animal bones, burnt and unburnt stone and other materials had been placed in one of the gully terminals. The gully was subsequently cut by a [...]
Site C, Snelshall East, Milton Keynes - Archaeological Desk-Based Assessment
Published: 2004-08-01
Subjects: Desk-Based Assessment
It can be shown that the Site has been used for agricultural purposes from at least the medieval period, being situated on the periphery of areas of probable Roman settlement activity, known Anglo Saxon cemetery use and the well documented extent of the Deserted Medieval Village of Tattenhoe. Consequently it recommended that though the Site has little demonstrable potential it may be considered [...]
Hatfield Park Farm, Takeley, Essex - Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation Assessment Report
Published: 2004-08-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts, Early Medieval Settlement, Prehistoric Artefacts, Romano-British Artefacts
From March to May 2004 Oxford Wessex Archaeology evaluated and excavated the 0.75ha site of the access road entrance and associated working areas to a proposed golf course at Hatfield Park Farm, Takeley, Essex. A number of archaeological features were found concentrated towards the north end of the Site. They consisted principally of ditches and gullies all on the same orientation and all [...]
203 Holland Park Avenue, London W11 - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2004-06-01
Subjects: No Archaeological Features
Trenches revealed material relating to the destruction of the former Duke of Clarence Public House and its ancillary buildings, prior to which the Site appeared to consist of a top/subsoil horizon overlying a London clay natural. No archaeological features were present on Site and there is thought to be little or no threat to archaeologically significant deposits by the approved development.
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: 2004-04-01
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 [...]
