Time Team - Wicken, Northamptonshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2008-02-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure
A series of six trenches and nine test pits were excavated within the village to evaluate the location, extent, character, date, and significance of any underlying archaeology. The archaeological evaluation provided a small but significant contribution to the story of Wicken which, when taken in conjunction with the work of the University of Leicester, will help to provide further insight into [...]
Time Team - Roughtor, Bodmin Moor, Cornwall - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-09-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Artefacts, Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Settlement, Neolithic Ceremony
The current programme of works aimed to revisit the roundhouses previously excavated, and also to investigate an undisturbed structure. The settlement had initially been dated as Bronze Age by comparison to other excavated sites on Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor, and the main aim of the current project was to confirm (or otherwise) the date of the structures. The Bank Cairn had initially been linked [...]
Time Team - Speke Keeill, Mount Murray Hotel, Isle of Man - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-07-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Funerary Site, Early Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Religious Site
The results of the evaluation showed that like many sites on Man the cist cemetery belonged to the pre-Norse period, which was confirmed by radiocarbon dating to belong to the 6th to 7th century AD, the samples taken from three burials. The keeill was shown to be later than the cemetery as it was built upon an earlier grave which was subsequently disturbed. It was constructed in a typical [...]
Time Team - Harold's House, Portskewett, Monmouthshire, South Wales - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-06-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Medieval Structure
The evaluation comprised the excavation of six trial trenches, combined with geophysical survey, landscape survey and geoarchaeological (auger) survey. No evidence of the pre-Norman conquest hunting lodge was identified, but the earthworks were revealed as probably belonging to the manorial complex of the Deneband family. Areas of human and animal accommodation were identified as well as [...]
Time Team - Rhyd-y-Groes Wind Farm, Werthyr, Near Amlwch, Anglesey, North Wales - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-06-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Funerary Site, Romano-British Defences
No clear date for the earthworks was revealed. However, the project was successful in the identification of large enclosing defensive ditches through both geophysical survey and excavation. The geophysical survey revealed the extent of the enclosure but was unable to reveal any contemporary structures within it, due to the effects of later ploughing. A possible Bronze Age cist grave was [...]
Time Team - Dotton Mill, Dotton, Near Otterton, Devon - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-04-01
Subjects: Modern Industry, Post-Medieval Industry, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation did not reveal any structures or features which could be dated to the medieval period. The rebuilding of the mill in the 17th or 18th century, potentially on the site of the original mill, and the re-digging of the leat at a similar time, is likely to have either removed or masked any evidence of the medieval mill. The project did, however, identify the type of mill which had [...]
Time Team - Poulton Hall, Pulford, Cheshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2007-04-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Structure
As a result of the Time Team evaluation, it appears likely that the Abbey was never built at Poulton Hall. The evaluation suggested potential alternative sites for the Abbey through the analysis of the historical mapping, aerial photography and topography of the area. The most likely location is in and around the area of the small chapel. The earliest phases of activity at the Poulton Hall [...]
Time Team - Moss Brow Farm, Warburton, Greater Manchester - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2007-03-01
Subjects: Romano-British Agriculture
Following the excavation of a number of trenches, it became clear that there was no Romano-British fortlet at Warburton, and that the feature identified as ‘Punic’ defensive ditch was in fact the remains of an old hedgerow which had been removed in the last quarter of the 19th century. The evaluation revealed no evidence for settlement of any kind from the Romano-British period, but was able to [...]
Time Team - Chesham Bois House, 85 Bois Lane, Chesham Bois, Bucks - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2007-03-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The objective of the evaluation was to investigate the occupation and development of the site, particularly the structural evolution of medieval and post medieval buildings, and evidence of any early domestic and craft activities. This continues the work of the Chess Valley Archaeological and Historical Society Field Group, who carried out limited geophysical and topographic surveys at Chesham [...]
Time Team - Blacklands, Upper Row Farm, Laverton, Somerset - Assessment of the Results from the Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2007-01-01
Subjects: Iron Age Agriculture, Iron Age Artefacts, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Settlement
No features of conclusive Iron Age date were identified during the evaluation, but residual Iron Age and Early Romano-British material recovered from a discrete central area of the site suggests this formed the focus of early occupation. Most of the excavated features comprised ditches or robbed-out foundation trenches. Although most of the artefactual material recovered indicates a later 3rd-4th [...]
Time Team - Stilton, Cambridgeshire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-12-01
Subjects: Medieval Funerary Site, Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Industry, Romano-British Settlement
The wider settlement was identified through geophysical survey and the landscape study while the excavation was able to provide a date for the occupation between the early to mid 2nd century AD and the end of the Roman period. The site was largely abandoned due to climatic changes and changes in sea level, but two inhumation burials and a large oval surrounding enclosure post-date the Romano- [...]
Time Team - Hooke Court, Hooke, Dorset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-12-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure
The results of the evaluation demonstrated that the surviving west wing and the now demolished north wing had their origins in the 14th or 15th century and had seen much alteration including major building works in the 17th century. Analysis of the photographic and map evidence showed that the original access to the moated complex was through a gatehouse in the northern range. A blocked archway [...]
Time Team - Shorncliffe Redoubt, Sir John Moore Barracks, Shorncliffe, Folkestone, Kent - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-11-01
Subjects: Military Artefacts, Post-Medieval Defences, Post-Medieval Structure
The project was largely unsuccessful in the identification of structures dated to the Napoleonic period within the redoubt. It became clear that the Twiss maps were a combination of ‘as built’ and ‘as proposed’ and therefore many of the structures depicted may never have been constructed. It was, however, clear that the main redoubt structure comprising earthen ramparts matches the Twiss maps, [...]
Time Team - Withington, Gloucestershire - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2006-05-01
Subjects: Romano-British Artefacts, Romano-British Structure, Roman Villa
The evaluation concentrated on three areas of investigation: Site A (Manor Court Field), where a local archaeologist had recovered Romano-British finds from molehills; Site B, the Scheduled Ancient Monument of Withington Villa (SM GC200), a complex potentially dating from the 2nd - 4th centuries AD, first excavated in 1811; and Site C, an area between Sites A and B, the site of a spring and [...]
Time Team - Alfoldean, Slinfold, West Sussex - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of Results
Published: 2006-04-01
Subjects: Romano-British Agriculture, Romano-British Structure, Roman Road
The evaluation comprised an extensive geophysical survey and six trenches. The geophysical survey successfully plotted the outline of the bank and ditch enclosure surrounding the mansio complex, some of the mansio walls, and elements of the strip settlement including field systems, trackways, pits and areas of possible industrial activity. Ditches and trackways were largely aligned on Stane [...]
