Subjects: Early Medieval Agriculture, Early Medieval Settlement, Modern Settlement, Post-Medieval Agriculture
The earliest activity in the mitigation area was represented by a broken flint flake, which can only be broadly dated as Neolithic/Bronze Age, that was recovered as a residual find from an early medieval ditch. Three ditches and two pits were dated to the Saxo-Norman period through the recovery of a small assemblage of Cheddar-type ware and Wessex coarseware dated to between the 10th–12th [...]

Todlaw Pike Excavation, Otterburn Training Camp, Northumberland - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2021-11-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Funerary Site
No datable artefacts were recovered from either site and both are currently undated but phased through analogy with other dated sites. Excavations at Site 1 revealed a cairn covering a probable grave cut surrounded by a ring ditch and the bank of the enclosure. These are almost certainly prehistoric features and probably Early Bronze Age in date. The bank enclosing Site 2 was found to be [...]
Soho Loop, Dudley Road, Birmingham, West Midlands - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2021-10-01
Subjects: Modern Industry, Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The excavation followed on from a desk-based assessment and two trial trench evaluations and was carried out in two phases. The initial phase focussed on exposing and recording the floor plan of the 1896 Barker and Allen German Silver Works, these investigations limited by the presence of a number of suspected asbestos-containing materials present across the site. Following removal of the [...]
Land to the rear of 56 High Street, Southampton - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2021-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Settlement, Post-Medieval Settlement
The work monitored the excavation of one cable percussion borehole to a depth of 20 m and five window sample boreholes to a depth of 4 m. The small assemblage of finds does not provide much evidence to date the darker soils, although contexts (204), (502) and (1005) have been tentatively dated to the post medieval/medieval periods. No evidence of Late Saxon settlement was recorded, although it [...]
Partridge Hill Farm, Doncaster - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2021-09-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Industry, Iron Age Agriculture, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Agriculture, Romano-British Settlement
The uncovered features, comprising ditches, gullies and pits, represent evidence of Iron Age/Romano-British agricultural practices and settlement although several features remain of uncertain date due to a lack of artefactual material. All but a small proportion of the finds assemblage came from the southernmost field, and almost entirely comprises sherds of pottery dating to the Romano-British [...]
Rockstone Court, Rockstone Lane, Southampton - Archaeological Watching Brief Report
Published: 2021-09-01
Subjects: No Archaeology
The archaeological watching brief monitored the excavation of the material behind the retaining wall, which revealed wholly modern made ground deposits most likely associated with the original construction of the existing wall and therefore no archaeological features or material was observed.
Onslow Road, Mickleover, Derbyshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2021-07-01
Subjects: Romano-British
The majority of the archaeological remains were Romano-British in date, of a single phase of activity dating to the mid-1st to 2nd century, with some features possibly open into the 3rd century AD. The pottery assemblage was moderate and provided good dating for most features. The pottery and environmental remains provided evidence of rural domestic activity, with crop processing occurring in [...]
Pook Lane, Lavant, West Sussex - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2021-07-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Funerary Site, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Agriculture, Romano-British Settlement, Undated Archaeological Features
The excavation identified multiple phases of archaeological activity dating from the Bronze Age through to the Romano-British period with some minor post-medieval activity. Two inverted Bronze Age cremation vessels, one of which was collared, were buried adjacent to each other, beside a lone post hole, all evenly spaced on an east to west alignment approximately 0.3 m apart. The post hole is [...]

Adanac Phase 1 and 2 Archaeological Evaluation and Mitigation, Nursling, Hampshire - Post-excavation Assessment
Published: 2021-06-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Artefacts, Iron Age Settlement
The most significant archaeological feature was a mid Iron Age penannular enclosure within the centre of the Phase 1 area. The enclosure comprised three segmented ditches. Six postholes within the enclosure are likely to be contemporaneous, with two inside the eastern entrance and four forming a possible structure to the west of the centre. Stratigraphically later, but still largely [...]
Land at Church Farm, Paddock Wood, Kent - Archaeological Excavation Report
Published: 2021-06-01

The excavation identified archaeological remains within the three main areas, comprising a total of 39 ditches and gullies, 25 pits and postholes and a spread of waste material ranging from the Iron Age to medieval periods based on relatively limited dating evidence. While no features comprising ironworking industry were recorded within the site the spread of ironworking remains, particularly [...]
