Northgate Street and New Park Street, Devizes, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report

Wessex Archaeology

One feature of potential significance has been identified as a well of medieval date, though neither the date nor function are certain. The sample trenches also identified an earlier post-medieval pit, containing a mixed assemblage of artefacts (pottery, bone, CBM, glass etc). Together with a further pit and two postholes potentially from the late 17th century. A cellar wall may relate to [...]

This report records the results of an archaeological evaluation. The evaluation was reduced from two trenches to one, due to the presence of live services. It was however, still demonstrated that archaeological structures and deposits survived on the site. The chronology of the observed remains was not reliably established, although given the background of the site it is almost certain that the [...]

This report records the results of an archaeological excavation and watching brief. The excavation identified the remains of a circular post-built structure, probably a roundhouse, with associated pits and postholes. Late Bronze Age pottery was recovered from several of the features, along with small amounts of animal bone, fired clay, worked flint and charred plant remains. The watching [...]

Subjects: Post-Medieval Agriculture, World War II

Features were concentrated within Areas 1 and 2, in the eastern extent of the site, whilst Areas 3 and 4 were void of any archaeological signature. Whilst the precise character of the material remains uncertain, it may be associated with the iron working site at Sadlers End approximately 900 m from the site. A possible pond was also located, containing a soil sequence suggesting natural silting [...]

Subjects: Modern Industry, Post-Medieval Agriculture, Post-Medieval Industry

This report records the results of an archaeological watching brief and strip, map and sample excavation. The watching brief recorded a total of 99 shafts/bell pits which appear to relate to coal extraction. Post-medieval pottery recovered from the fills of one of the shafts suggest they may be related to previously identified coal workings on Woodville Road (HER No 20236). The strip, map and [...]

Winteringham Ings - Archaeological Watching Brief Report and Borehole Survey

Wessex Archaeology

Published: 2020-09-30

The watching brief was centred on two areas (Area 1 and Area 2). An oval shaped feature and an irregular shaped elongated feature were encountered in Area 1. Features have been preserved in situ. No archaeological features were encountered in Area 2. The borehole survey was focussed on two transects across what was identified as a relict channel of the River Ancholme. The survey also shows [...]

Swing Swang Lane, Basingstoke, Hampshire - Archaeological Excavation Report

Wessex Archaeology

Subjects: Prehistoric Flint, Romano-British Agriculture, Undated Archaeological Features

The excavation confirmed the presence of background prehistoric activity observed during earlier archaeological works on the site. A boundary ditch containing Romano-British pottery and worked flint, and a small pit and tree-throw hole containing worked flint were identified. A substantial pit of uncertain date and function was also investigated. Civil War period activity came in the form of [...]

Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Agriculture, Romano-British Artefacts, Undated Archaeological Features

The strip, map and record excavation covered an area of 850 m2 and contained a total of 11 archaeological features: a pair of parallel ditches and nine pits/postholes. Most of the latter appeared to form the circumference of an 11 m diameter circle. What this originally represented is unproven; possible interpretations include a roundhouse, although this is tentative. Only three artefacts were [...]

This report records the results of an excavation and watching brief. Romano-British boundary ditches and gullies were found beneath layers of buried soil containing artefacts of Romano-British, medieval, 17th-, 18th- and 19th-century date. It is probable that these buried soils were analogous to those identified on the adjacent Boughton Centre site, where they were dated to the Romano-British [...]
