Time Team - Sutton Courtenay, Oxfordshire - Archaeological Excavation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-08-01
Subjects: Anglo-Saxon Hall, Anglo-Saxon Settlement, Prehistoric Enclosure
The excavation, comprising four trenches, confirmed the location of several features previously identified from aerial photographs, but also demonstrated the limitations of both aerial photographs and geophysical survey data in the precise identification of features. Two trenches over a feature (structure 500), identified from aerial photographs and interpreted as an Anglo-Saxon ‘Great Hall’, [...]
Time Team - Piercebridge, County Durham - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-06-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Artefacts, Romano-British Defences, Romano-British Settlement, Romano-British Structure
The evaluation located a previously unknown area of activity to the north-west of the fort, dating to the 2nd century AD, although the precise nature of the activity in this area was not conclusive. The types of domestic refuse recovered would be consistent with civilian settlement, although a large area of cobbling could imply a more official or military structure. The alignment of features in [...]
Time Team - Hopton Castle, Shropshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2010-04-01
Subjects: Medieval Defences, Medieval Structure, Military Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation, comprising seven trenches, identified three major phases of activity on the Site: medieval, early post-medieval and mid 17th century, involving a siege during the Civil War, in 1644. As well as reviewing what was previously known about the upstanding remains of the medieval tower house, the evaluation also found evidence for the medieval moat and curtain wall. A large cellared [...]
Time Team - Burford Priory, Burford, Oxfordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Hospital, Post-Medieval Religious Practice, Post-Medieval Structure
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Channel 4’s ‘Time Team’ at Burford Priory in Oxfordshire, to investigate the remains of the medieval Hospital of St John the Evangelist, rebuilt as a grand house after the Dissolution, but still incorporating some medieval elements. The evaluation, involving shovel test pitting, geophysical survey, and evaluation trenching, formed part of an ongoing [...]
Time Team - Bedford Purlieus Wood, Thornhaugh near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-03-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Industry, Romano-British Structure, Roman Villa
Eight trenches were excavated by Time Team, to expand further on the information gained from NA’s work and to investigate areas inaccessible in 2005 and 2007. The trenches were concentrated on the north-south range of buildings, the courtyard area, the northern bank and a raised platform in the south-east corner. Trenches were also excavated in the second enclosure to the west and through one of [...]
Time Team - Governor's Green, Portsmouth, Hampshire - Archaeological Evaluation Report
Published: 2010-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Hospital, Medieval Structure, Modern Defences, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation demonstrated that the 13th century buildings of the Domus Dei hospital had been heavily truncated and reused during the remodelling of the hospital complex into the Governor’s House. The remains of a medieval floor had been reused within the 16th century rebuild, as had much of the useable stonework from the medieval buildings. The main enclosure wall of the medieval hospital [...]
Time Team - Baliscate Chapel, Isle of Mull - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2010-01-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Religious Site, Early Medieval Structure
Time Team’s work was able to confirm that the Site was a chapel, which consisted of a timber phase with at least one associated burial. The burial produced a radiocarbon date of 610-690 cal. AD, placing it potentially within the lifetime of St. Adomnán, the ninth Abbot of Iona and biographer of St. Columba. The timber phase was replaced by a stone phase with an associated leacht, a stone [...]
Time Team - Blythburgh Priory, Blythburgh, Suffolk - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-09-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Funerary Site, Early Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site
The remains of the Priory are still upstanding. No intrusive archaeological work has previously been undertaken within the Priory complex, and little is understood of its layout or development, although a number of small evaluations have taken place within the vicinity of the Site, and several scattered finds have been recovered. The evaluation located at least two inhumation burials which [...]
Time Team - Lincoln's Inn, London - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-06-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure, Prehistoric Artefacts, Romano-British Artefacts, World War II
Time Team investigations were subject to several constraining factors which prevented a full understanding of the nature and extent of the archaeological deposits in the area. Despite these limitations, a number of archaeological discoveries were made. These included the finding of residual later prehistoric and Romano-British pottery which attests to activity of this date in the area. Medieval [...]
Time Team - Yelnow Villa, Colworth Science Park, Bedfordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-05-01
Subjects: Iron Age Structure, Romano-British Artefacts, Roman Villa
Seven trenches were excavated to demonstrate the extent, character and condition of the villa remains. The evaluation has provided a valuable contribution to our knowledge of the Yelnow villa site and the activity in the immediate locale. At least two, and possibly three broad phases of activity were identified. In addition, the unstratified find of a Neolithic stone macehead is of interest, but [...]
Time Team - Looe, Cornwall - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure, Romano-British Artefacts
The evaluation produced no definitive evidence for prehistoric activity on either site, although a large stone, apparently deliberately buried within the grounds of Island House on Looe Island may have been a prehistoric standing stone that had been demolished during 19th century landscaping. Two ditches on the island produced Romano-British pottery, and one also contained a small hoard of [...]
Time Team - Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site, Post-Medieval Structure
Investigation into the Chantry Chapel revealed possible evidence of the preparation of the ground prior to the building of the Cathedral in 1220 in the form of a large chalk raft, laid down to create a dry working platform and to stabilise the ground, and possible evidence of an earlier cemetery of 1219. The buttresses of the 1220 construction were revealed and were clearly disturbed by the [...]
Time Team - Caerwent Roman Town, Monmouthshire, South Wales - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-02-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Settlement, Roman Villa
The project aimed to carry out a limited programme of non-intrusive investigations and evaluation trenching over three days. Fieldwork consisted of seven machine excavated trial trenches as well as geophysical and topographic surveys. The geophysical survey clearly demonstrated the potential usefulness of these techniques, particularly ground penetrating radar, for providing detailed information [...]
Time Team - Chapel Head, Warboys, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure
The primary aim of the evaluation was to see whether there had actually been a medieval chapel on the site, as implied by the later field name. During the evaluation an east-west aligned structure measuring some 13.8 by 6.0m was uncovered, although this had been almost entirely robbed out. The structure lay within a series of ditches that appeared to form a surrounding enclosure. These features [...]
Time Team - Friars Wash, Redbourn, Hertfordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2009-01-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Religious Site, Romano-British Structure
The fieldwork comprised geophysical survey and four evaluation trenches. Geophysical survey identified several anomalies that coincided with the features visible on the aerial photograph, and the four evaluation trenches were targeted on the various possible masonry structures and ditches identified. The earliest deposits encountered comprise possible buried soils recorded in Trenches 1 and 2, [...]
