Land at Wyck Beck Road / Fishpool Hill, Filton, South Gloucestershire - Archaeological Evaluation Report

Wessex Archaeology

This report records the results of an archaeological evaluation. Archaeological features were identified in 23 trenches of the 84 trial trenches. Ditches, pits postholes and structural remains were uncovered alongside predominantly Romano-British finds including ceramics, animal bone, iron implements, ceramic building material and stone roof tiles. Collectively the features are indicative of a Romano-British rural settlement.

Post-Roman/Saxon pottery was also retrieved suggesting some continuity of activity in the vicinity. Evidence for a late medieval to early post-medieval settlement, consisting of a boundary ditch and the remains of a stone building was also recorded. These features are likely to be associated with a known medieval settlement, remains of which have previously been identified on both sides of Wyck Beck Road.
