Digital Archive from an Archaeological Watching Brief at Straw Cottage, Main Street, Todenham, Gloucestershire, March and November 2021
No full textThis collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological watching brief at the site of Straw Cottage, Main Street, Todenham, Gloucestershire. Work was carried out by Worcestershire Archaeology in March and November 2021, in advance of development for a proposed residential dwelling, the site being to the north-east and east of the church of St Thomas a Becket. Six trenches were monitored, revealing a number of ditches of Late Iron Age to Roman date. It was not possible to discern much in the way of form or function, but demonstrate exploitation of the landscape during this period. The pottery assemblage was small and generally undiagnostic, but the sherds were well-preserved, indicating that they had not moved much since their original deposition. It is considered likely that the features were of agricultural function, somewhat removed from any settlement and part of a wider farming landscape. The Fosse Way lies 1.5 miles to the west and though evidence for a Roman presence in the immediate vicinity is low, this is conjectured to be due to a lack of opportunity for investigation rather than an absence of activity
Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at Beacon Fen Energy Park, Lincolnshire, September 2024
No full textThis collection comprises image, text, spreadsheet and GIS data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Beacon Fen Energy Park, Sleaford, Lincolnshire. The work was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in September 2024. A total of 26 trial trenches were excavated on part of the access route to the site and a total of 17 of the 28 excavated trial trenches contained archaeological features and deposits (61 percent), with their distribution indicating archaeological remains are present throughout much of the evaluated area barring an outlying land parcel that was also trenched. The uncovered features comprise 22 ditches, four gullies, three furrows, two pits, and a pit or ditch terminal. Most of these formed part of an enclosed farmstead and associated field system of mid-late Romano-British date, although some would have formed elements within the post-medieval and modern landscape

Site Data from Archaeological Trial Trenching at the High Street, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire, December 2023
No full textThis collection comprises images, documents, and CAD data from archaeological trial trenching on land at Greenside, 134 High Street, Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire. Albion Archaeology undertook works on the 5th of December 2023, for the construction of a new dwelling and vehicular access on garden land to the side of the existing property. The results suggest that the archaeological potential of the site is low, with no significant archaeological features present and no residual artefacts to indicate medieval or earlier activity. 2 pits and 1 post-medieval tile fragment was found
Digital Archive from an Excavation at Lord Mayor Treloar Hospital, Chawton Park Road, Alton, Hampshire, November-December 2019
No full textThis collection comprises images, documents, spreadsheets, databases, and GIS data from a programme of archaeological investigation at Lord Mayor Treloar Hospital, Chawton Road, Alton, Hampshire, undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November and December 2019 at the request of RPS Group PLC (on behalf of Crest Nicholson South). An area of 0.352ha was excavated within the site. The most notable discovery was a substantial post-built structure of Saxo-Norman date within the centre of the excavation area
Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at Bishopscourt House, Bishopscourt, Isle of Man, June 2022
No full textThis collection comprises image, text, spreadsheet and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation Bishopscourt House, Bishopscourt, Isle of Man. The work was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology in June 2022. The evaluation comprised the hand-excavation of 22 test pits within the grounds of Bishopscourt House. The test pitting works have successfully identified the deposit sequence around the chapel and outbuildings at Bishopscourt and tested the results of an earlier geophysical survey. The earliest dateable finds comprise a few sherds of medieval pottery. Most of the small assemblage of finds was of postmedieval/ modern date, generally recovered from upper layers
Digital Archive from an Excavation at South Side of Keeley Lane, Wootton, Bedfordshire, June 2023
No full textThis collection comprises images, spreadsheets, databases, and GIS data from an archaeological excavation on land south of Keeley Lane, Wootton, Bedfordshire undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in June 2023. A total area measuring 550sqm was excavated within the development site, targeting a cluster of pits identified during the preceding trial-trench evaluation
Digital Archive from an Archaeological Excavation at Laundry Road, Minster, Kent, 2020
No full textThis collection comprises text, image, CAD, spreadsheet and GIS data from an archaeological excavation at Laundry Road, Minster, Kent. The work was undertaken by Wessex Archaeology between October and November 2020. The excavation identified a moderate quantity of archaeological features and deposits, with a concentration within the southern half of the site. The features comprised 18 pits, 11 postholes, a curvilinear probable settlement enclosure ditch, a post-medieval ditch, 7 tree-throw holes and a quarry pit. The Late Bronze Age activity is represented by pits and postholes located within a large curvilinear enclosure ditch, and three pits located outside the enclosure. Artefactual evidence includes pottery, animal bone, worked flint and fired clay. Disarticulated human remains representing a single individual were also found located within the enclosure with associated finds comprising five copper alloy objects, flint tools, worked stone and perforated clay weights
