Published: 2005-03-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Iron Age Ceremony, Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure
The Wemyss Caves are well known for their Pictish carvings – the largest single collection of Pictish carvings known – which occur in five of the nine recorded caves. Five trenches were excavated within the interior of three of these caves (Jonathan’s Cave, the Well Cave and Sliding Cave), with a further two trenches sited outside the entrance of Well Cave. Furthermore, a section of the eroding [...]
Time Team - Picket Farm, Picket Lane, South Perrot, Dorset - Report on an Archaeological Fieldwalking Exercise and Evaluation, and an Assessment of the results
Published: 2005-02-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Neolithic Ceremony, Post-Medieval Agriculture, Romano-British Ceremony
A fieldwalking exercise undertaken as part of the project recovered small quantities of prehistoric, Roman and medieval pottery and prehistoric worked flint, with much larger quantities of Post-medieval pottery and ceramic building material. None of these appeared to show any significant concentrations. A small-scale metal detector survey undertaken in the area of the known concentration of [...]
Time Team - Chenies Manor, Chenies, Buckinghamshire - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Tudor Manor House and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2005-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Structure, Post-Medieval Structure
The evaluation revealed evidence for a phase of 12th and 13th century occupation on the Site, in the form of a number of features cut in to the natural drift geology of the site. Two parallel ditches were excavated in Trench 2, whilst removal of areas of the Tudor and Post-medieval garden soil in Trench 12 revealed two substantial features that may represent either pits or ditch termini. [...]
Time Team - New Moreton Farm, Standish, Gloucestershire - Interim Report on an Archaeological Evaluation
Published: 2004-12-01
Subjects: Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Funerary Site, Romano-British Settlement
The main evidence for Iron Age activity was recorded in Trench 4, in the form of a penannular gully, c. 15m across with an east facing entrance, probably bounding a roundhouse. As well as a possible entrance structure, a deposit of several Iron Age pots, animal bones, burnt and unburnt stone and other materials had been placed in one of the gully terminals. The gully was subsequently cut by a [...]

Subjects: Bronze Age Funerary Site, Early Medieval Funerary Site, Medieval Settlement, Romano-British Agriculture
The archaeological evaluation was designed to investigate the extent and date of an Early-Mid Saxon cemetery, found by a metal detector, and the site of a deserted medieval village at Middle Carlton. The project was undertaken using surface collection at Middle Carlton and the cemetery field with geophysical survey and twelve machine dug trial trenches. The surface collection produced pottery [...]

Time Team - Whitestaunton Manor House, Whitestaunton, Somerset - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-05-01
Subjects: Romano-British Structure
The evaluation consisted of four trenches excavated within the Scheduled Area to re-examine the remains exposed in 1882. An additional nine evaluation trenches and six areas of geophysical survey were undertaken outside the Scheduled Area, in the grounds of the Manor House and in the fields beyond, in an attempt to locate other structures or features of Roman date and to provide a context for the [...]
Time Team - Oldfurnace Cottage and Eastwall Farm, Oakamoor, Staffordshire - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-03-01
Subjects: Early Medieval Industry, Medieval Industry
The results of the work at Oldfurnace Cottage confirmed that iron smelting using the bloomery process, with associated pottery of 13th-14th century date, was well established on the site in the medieval period. However an unstratified sherd of Late Saxon pottery suggested that iron working on the site may have begun as early as the 10th-11th century. The bloomery slag was overlain by large [...]
Time Team - Roxburgh, Floors Castle Estate, Kelso, Scotland - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2004-01-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site, Medieval Settlement
A modest assemblage of medieval finds, including mostly pottery and animal bone, was recovered, along with food remains such as oyster shells, hazelnuts, and grains of oats, hulled barley, wheat and rye. No structural evidence for the churches of the Holy Sepulchre or St James’ were recorded. A carved key stone in trench 4 may have derived from an ecclesiastical building, otherwise the presence [...]
Time Team - Loch Migdale, Sutherland, Highlands, Scotland - Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Bronze Age Ceremony, Bronze Age Settlement, Neolithic Ceremony, Neolithic Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and trial trenches, which were located across a crannog, a henge and a hut circle. The opportunity was also taken to examine a number of additional features, including a cairn, two hollows and a shieling. The evaluation has produced important new information on the prehistory of the area.
Time Team - Green Island Poole Harbour, Dorset - An Archaeological Evaluation and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-12-01
Subjects: Iron Age Industry, Iron Age Settlement, Romano-British Industry, Romano-British Settlement
The archaeological evaluation comprised a geophysical survey and the excavation of three small trenches and five test pits. There was evidence for industrial activity, specifically shale-working and iron smithing, in the Late Iron Age and into the Early Roman period. A small range of other items, such as the rotary quern, worked flint and iron nails may also have had an industrial purpose. These [...]
Time Team - Syon House, Syon Park, Hounslow - An Archaeological Evaluation of a Bridgettine Abbey and an Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Religious Site
The archaeological evaluation was successful in achieving the aims and objectives of the project. The geophysical survey produced results of sufficient clarity to enable an interpretative plan of part of the Brigittine abbey to be proposed. The eight trenches demonstrated the validity of much of the geophysical survey results and provided detail on the location, layout and extent of the abbey [...]
Time Team - Zinch House, Station Road, Stogumber, Somerset - Archaeological Evaluation and Assessment of the Results
Published: 2003-10-01
Subjects: Medieval Artefacts, Post-Medieval Structure
Zinch House is of 15th or 16th century origin and lies in the south of the village of Stogumber, Somerset, which is of at least medieval origin. One test pit was targeted to relocate the remains of an outbuilding to Zinch House shown on a Tithe map of 1840. The second test pit aimed to examine land to the north-west of Zinch House to test for settlement remains associated with the medieval [...]
