Time Team - Northborough Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2025-09-01
Subjects: Neolithic Artefacts, Neolithic Ceremony
The main aim of the evaluation was to ascertain the character, date and condition of the site, as well as the extent of preservation and waterlogging in the ditches. The air photographic transcription showed that the enclosure comprises two pairs of concentric circuits of short ditch segments and causeways, forming an inner and an outer enclosure. It is one of five causewayed enclosures [...]
Athelney Spillway, Lyng, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2023-11-01
Subjects: Iron Age, Mesolithic, Neolithic
The evaluation, which was undertaken on the 11–13 October 2023, comprised the excavation of five trenches measuring between 15 m and 35 m long, targeted on anomalies identified during a previous geophysical survey. The earliest human activity on the site is represented by Late Mesolithic/Early Neolithic struck flint, which was recovered from subsoil deposits and as residual material in later [...]
Time Team - Brancaster Roman Fort (Branodunum), Norfolk, Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2014-09-01
Subjects: Roman Fort, Romano-British Artefacts
An evaluation consisting of five trenches, magnetometer survey and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) survey sought to characterise both the chronology and character of the main fort and also the eastern vicus. A trench was also positioned on a possible earlier fort identified from cropmark evidence to the north of the main fort. Trenches 1, 2 and 4 lay within the fort. These indicated activity [...]
Time Team - Castor, Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-12-01
Subjects: Romano-British Structure
Time Team’s work aimed to clarify the layout of the Praetorium and to phase the development of the buildings. In this the evaluation was only partially successful. Four of the five trenches were positioned in areas which had been previously excavated, and there proved to be a lack of stratified dateable artefacts which could be used to phase the different elements of the building complex. [...]
Time Team - Les Gellettes, Jersey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-11-01
Subjects: Military Artefacts, Modern Structure, World War II
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4’s Time Team at the site of the German 2nd Battery of mixed anti-aircraft battalion 364 to the south of Les Gellettes on the island of Jersey. The Battery was constructed following the Occupation of the island in July 1940 and contained six 88mm and three 20mm anti-aircraft guns, just a small percentage of the 165 anti-aircraft guns recorded [...]
Time Team - Langport Ranges, High Ham, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-10-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Settlement, Roman Villa
The evaluation was successful in its stated aims in providing a detailed geophysical plan of the wider area around the villa, identifying that it was a much larger complex than initially thought, and by identifying at least two phases of villa construction. The earliest phase is potentially dated on artefactual evidence to the late 2nd to early 3rd centuries AD, but remains slightly ambiguous as [...]
Time Team - Cunetio Roman Town, Mildenhall, Marlborough, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-07-01
Subjects: Romano-British Defences, Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure
Cunetio is a Scheduled Monument (AM666) of national importance. Aerial photographs and early geophysical survey, coupled with very limited excavation, have established the ground plan of the town but almost nothing is known of its significance and changing form during the Roman period. The project aimed to carry out a limited programme of non-intrusive investigations and evaluation trenching [...]
Time Team - Tottiford Reservoir - Dartmoor National Park, Devon - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-06-01
Subjects: Mesolithic Flint Scatter, Prehistoric Artefacts, Prehistoric Ceremony
A combination of evaluation and geophysical survey confirmed the presence of the stone circle, estimated to be around 25m in diameter and to have contained between nine and 18 stones. The Tottiford stone circle brings the total of free-standing stone circles on Dartmoor to 15. No suitable dating material was obtained for this feature, although a concentration of probable later Mesolithic worked [...]
Time Team - Buck Mill, Stoke Trister, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-04-01
Subjects: Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation trenches within the standing remains of the post-medieval mill identified particular zones of activity, both domestic and industrial. The probable kitchen and living quarters of the mill were revealed, as was the meal floor, the cog pit and the wheel pit, with remains of the iron water wheel still in situ. Documentary references suggest that this mill was built in the mid-16th [...]
Time Team - Groby Old Hall, Groby, Leicestershire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Settlement, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Settlement, Post-Medieval Structure
An evaluation comprising eight trenches demonstrated a complex sequence of buildings on the Site. Initially, the focus of occupation was likely to have been the defensive motte, keep and bailey ditch in the northern part of the Site. This early castle was built by Hugh de Grantmesnil in the late 11th century, and may have been slighted by Henry II in 1176 after a siege. The evaluation by Time [...]
Time Team - Mont Orgueil Castle Gorey, St Martin, Jersey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure, Prehistoric Artefacts
The evaluation, comprising eight trenches, uncovered part of the medieval northern defences of the Castle as well as identifying some possible prehistoric activity.
Time Team - Llancaiach Fawr Manor Treharris, Caerphilly, Gwent - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2011-02-01
Subjects: Modern Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The Time Team evaluation, comprising eight trenches, found no conclusive evidence of any medieval structure (or associated activity) thought to have occupied the Site prior to the current Manor House, although one fragment of medieval roof tile was recovered in a later deposit. Activity in the vicinity of the house was predominantly post-medieval and modern, associated with the use of the Manor [...]
Time Team - Northern Green, Westminster Abbey - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-12-01
Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Religious Practice, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation aimed to further investigate these remains. Fieldwork consisted of five machine-excavated trial trenches as well as geophysical and topographic surveys. The trenches examined salient features of the Lshaped structure. The use of a distinctive mortar was found to unify and characterise all elements of this structure, showing it to be of a single phase of construction, although at [...]
Time Team - Litlington, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-11-01
Subjects: Romano-British Funerary Site, Roman Villa
The evaluation carried out by Time Team, comprising ten trenches and eleven testpits, was able to confirm the position of the ‘Litlington villa’, though it was not possible to determine its full extent or layout. Newspaper accounts of the villa from the time of its discovery, describing it as being a very well appointed structure containing 30 rooms and a bathhouse, with many fine tessellated [...]
Time Team - Norman Cross Camp, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-09-01
Subjects: Military Artefacts, Modern Structure
An evaluation comprising nine trenches confirmed the basic layout of the prisoner of war internment centre and provided some detail of its construction and use. A possible Romano-British pit was also located. Evidence suggests that the camp was constructed directly upon the subsoil, creating a buried soil horizon. Further earlier archaeological features may therefore survive beneath the later [...]
