title: Images and Photo Register from an Evaluation at Woodside Avenue, Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne 2021

description: This collection comprises images and a photographic register from an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land at Woodside Avenue, Wallsend, Newcastle upon Tyne undertaken by Allen Archaeology Limited to inform future planning decisions prior to proposed ground reduction. The site lies outside of the Roman civilian settlement associated with Segedunum at Wallsend on Hadrian's Wall, and beyond the area in which evidence of Roman finds have been recorded. There is no evidence for medieval archaeological activity on the site. During the 17th century there was a significant increase in coalmining activity on Tyneside but the site does not appear to have been used within the industry for any purpose apart for dumping colliery waste, and remained undeveloped. In the 19th century the site was developed for terrace housing which was subsequently demolished in 2017.

title: Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation at Thame Road, Longwick, Buckinghamshire 2017

description: This collection comprises of images, reports, site records and GIS from an archaeological evaluation and excavation of land adjacent to Thame Road in Longwick, Buckinghamshire, between April and July 2017, commissioned by Croudace Homes and undertaken by Oxford Archaeology. The site, centred on National Grid Reference SP 7875 0525 and lying at 85 meters above Ordnance Datum, has been proposed for a new housing development. The evaluation comprised of two areas that were excavated and this took place from the 27th June to the 3rd July 2017. The results of the evaluation confirmed the presence of archaeological features at the site, mainly comprising a modest number of linear features, laid out on an approximately North West-South East alignment. Some of the features, in the two most northerly of the three fields under investigation, were parallel with present-day field boundaries. Although most of these features remain undated, Roman pottery was recovered from one of them and medieval pottery was recovered from unstratified contexts. The excavation comprised a programme of open area excavation within two areas of the proposed development. The results of the excavation revealed part of a possible Roman trackway orientated North North-West-South South-East, which may have linked to the Lower Icknield Way, a prehistoric or Roman trackway, to the south.

title: Site and Post-Excavation Data from an Excavation at Hartnell's Farm, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, Somerset 2018-2019

description: This collection comprises images, GIS, and a database from an archaeological excavation undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology on land at Hartnell's Farm, Monkton Heathfield, Taunton, Somerset between November 2018 and February 2019. This work examined an Early Neolithic pit, and Early Bronze Age pit and two Middle Bronze Age enclosures. The Early Neolithic pit contained pottery, flint and charred food remains and the Early Bronze Age pit little except charcoal, and both features were dated by radiocarbon. The Middle Bronze Age enclosure ditches and associated pits contained Trevisker-related pottery (broadly 1500-1000 BC), but there was an absence of material for absolute dating. One enclosure was sub-rectangular with two entrances and postholes for a possible gate structure, while the other, of a different form, appeared to demarcate the corner of a much larger enclosure the overall extent of which was not discoverable. The non-survival of bone and the sparseness of cultivated plant remains make an assessment of the farming economy problematic, but a consideration of the evidence from this and nearby sites suggests a pastoral emphasis to be likely. The noteworthy discovery of most of a single vessel from an enclosure ditch is compared with the intentional deposits of Middle Bronze Age vessels found elsewhere in the region.

title: Geophysics Data from the Clavering Sound Mirror Archaeology Project, Hartlepool, Teesside 2022

description: This collection comprises geophysics data from electrical resistance and magnetometer surveys at the site of the former sound mirror, Hartlepool as part of the National Lottery Heritage Fund SeaScapes Project 2022, undertaken by Archaeological Services Durham university. Data was collected by local volunteers under supervision. Both survey areas appear to contain significant quantities of ferrous debris, probably associated with construction and possible landscaping works in the late 20th century. One apparent arc of probable ferrous material broadly corresponds to the former earthwork around the sound mirror and could possibly represent wire fragments from a former fence along the earthwork, if there ever was one. Areas of probable rubble were detected in Area 2, east of Clavering Road. Although no remains of probable in situ structures have been identified, such features could survive beneath the rubble and ferrous debris. Some of the rubble could be debris from the demolition of the sound mirror or associated features. Various very subtle resistance anomalies were detected across Area 1. It is possible that some of these could be associated with the former sheds and plot boundaries shown here in 1948, however, the absence of stronger resistance anomalies would be consistent with the ground level being reduced here during landscaping works.

title: Site and Post-Excavation Data from an Excavation at Swan School, Marston, Oxfordshire 2019

description: This collection comprises images, GIS, databases, and site records from an archaeological excavation at Swan School and Meadowbrook College, New Marston, Oxford carried out between April and July 2019 by Cotswold Archaeology. An area of 1.92ha was excavated across the 5.6ha development area.

The site was the focus of settlement activity from as early as the Middle Iron Age up to the end of the Roman period in the 4th century AD. Middle Iron Age settlement was characterised by enclosed and unenclosed elements with the main focus being two enclosures that contained pits, a sub-enclosure and the remains of three roundhouses. After a short hiatus in activity from around the mid 2nd century BC, renewed activity in the Late Iron Age/Early Roman transitional period saw the establishment of a trapezoidal enclosure, two trackways and associated pits, postholes and smaller sub-enclosures on land to the south-west of the main Middle Iron Age settlement focus. Activity continued into the Roman period with the establishment of a complex-type farmstead, as defined by the Rural Roman Settlement Project, comprising a rectilinear enclosure system focused on the junction of three trackways. It was remodelled and maintained throughout the Roman period with the most significant focus of the site being the construction and use of a pottery kiln during the 3rd to 4th centuries AD and part of the Oxford Roman pottery industry. Two Late Roman inhumation burials were also excavated. The site was abandoned during the Late Roman period, with no evidence of use until the establishment of a ridge-and-furrow agricultural system in the medieval period. Post-medieval remains were limited to former field boundaries and a gully.

A large assemblage of pottery dating to the Iron Age and Roman periods and small amounts of medieval and post-medieval material was recovered. Finds typical of a rural settlement were also recovered and provide evidence for small-scale textile production, crop processing and domestic activity. Significant artefacts include an Iron Age loomweight and spindlewhorl, Roman bone needle shank/hairpin, two Roman copper-alloy brooches, a lower rotary quern and a coin dating to AD 307-318.

title: Site and Post-Excavation Data from an Excavation and Evaluation at Bancombe Road, Somerton, Somerset 2019-2021

description: This collection comprises a site report, images, database, and GIS datasets from an evaluation and excavation at land north of Bancombe Road, Somerton, Somerset. An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in October 2019 at Land to the North of Bancombe Road, Somerton, Somerset. Twenty-three trenches were machine excavated. Following the evaluation, between March and July 2020, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological excavation Land to the north of Bancombe Road, Somerton, Somerset. An area of 0.7ha was excavated within the site.

Mesolithic and Late Neolithic activity is attested by a handful of flints and pottery from later features. The earliest substantive activity was related to what appears to constitute later Iron Age dispersed settlement, including at least one roundhouse, and ditches. Some of these continued into the Late Iron Age to Early Romano-British transitional period. This was superseded by an episode of quarrying during the Roman period and the establishment of a double ditched trackway with an associated paddock. A sequence of buildings was established on the north side of this track from the 2nd century AD, lasting until the 4th century. The main phase can be associated with blacksmithing. Importantly, the industrial waste from the smithing process provides robust evidence for the use of coal in metalworking. The deposits within the building included both associated bone groups involving sheep and burials of neonatal human remains. The building collapsed or was demolished, probably in the 4th century AD. The Roman deposits were disturbed, with robbing of the walls and by ploughing in subsequent centuries. Medieval and post-medieval pottery indicates agricultural use from the medieval to modern period.

title: Site Data from a Watching Brief along the line of Gas Pipeline NLGA 7033, Bromham, Bedfordshire 2011

description: This collection comprises a report, images, and site records from a watching brief carried out as part of gas pipeline replacement works. An archaeological watching brief was conducted during the machine-excavation of six renewal pits along the line of an existing gas pipeline (NLGA 7033), near to the village of Bromham, Bedfordshire. The pits were excavated to allow the existing metal pipe to be replaced in plastic. The pits targeted a section of the pipeline along Church Lane which intersected a Scheduled Monument, known as Oakley Bridge (List Entry1005397), which crosses the River Great Ouse. The watching brief located a small number of archaeological deposits, considered to be of local importance, and which have enhanced our understanding of the local archaeological record. The vast majority of recorded layers were undoubtedly backfill events relating to construction of the original gas main and, although 19th century artefacts were recovered from Renewal Pit 4, it is considered that these were probably residual.

title: Images and GIS from an Evaluation West of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire

description: This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation carried out by Cotswold Archaeology on land west of Cheltenham, Gloucestershire between September and December 2021. A total of 248 trenches were excavated. The evaluation identified nine distinct areas of archaeological activity, primarily within the central and north-eastern extent of the proposed development area, all of which correlated with the evidence from a preceding geophysical survey.
