title: Images from an Archaeological Evaluation at 17 Walnut Tree Road, Pirton, Hertfordshire 2018

description: This collection comprises images from an Archaeological Evaluation on land at 17 Walnut Tree Road, Pirton, Hertfordshire. The investigation, which consisted of trial trenching, was undertaken by the Heritage Network in October 2018, in order to advise the local planning authority regarding the archaeological potential of a proposed development on the site.
Ten trenches of varying dimensions were excavated. The trenches exposed a topsoil and subsoil over the natural slightly silty clay substrate.
The fieldwork revealed six features considered to be of possible archaeological significance. Four pits and two ditches, all were dated by pottery finds to the 9-12th centuries, except for one of the ditches which had no finds, however prehistoric pottery was found nearby and may be associated.
On the basis of the evaluation results, the risk that the proposed development might have a negative impact on remains of archaeological significance may be considered to be High for early medieval and Low for all other periods.

title: Images and GIS from an Archaeological Evaluation at Abbey House Gardens, Malmesbury, Wiltshire, April 2022

description: This digital archive contains images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation on land at Abbey House Gardens, Malmesbury, Wiltshire. The work was undertaken in April 2022 by Cotswold Archaeology. A total of seven trenches were excavated. Structural remains of 17th to 19th-century date were recorded in the western part of the site, likely relating to the previous location of Coach House. No in situ medieval remains were identified during the course of the evaluation, with residual prehistoric and medieval artefactual material recovered from later levelling and garden soil deposits.

title: Digital Archive from an Archaeological Watching Brief at North Leigh Roman Villa, April 2014

description: This digital archive contains images, spreadsheet. site records and CAD from an an archaeological watching brief during the installation of new visitor information signs at North Leigh Roman Villa. Oxford Archaeology undertook the work on April 2, 2014. The watching brief observed two layers potentially associated with the levelling of the villa courtyard, or buried ploughsoil. These deposits contained ceramic building material, and a pottery sherd which could only be broadly dated to the Roman period. The lower of these deposits was observed to be overlying a possible stone and mortar structure, although the limited extent of the excavations made the true extent, form and function of this structure impossible to determine. Additionally two deposits likely to represent spoil from the early 20th century excavations of the Villa were observed to the north-west of the central range.

title: Images and GIS from an Archaeological Evaluation and Observation at Land Rear of 57 High Street, Twywell, Northamptonshire, July 2022

description: This digital archive contains images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation and programme of archaeological works including: observation, investigation, recording, analysis and publication during groundwork associated with residential development on land to the rear of 57 High Street, Twywell, Northamptonshire. The work was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology, between March and July 2022. A single pit/well of medieval date was investigated in Trench 1 revealing a small assemblage of 9th- to 11th-century pottery in the backfill deposits. While of interest in confirming the presence of Late Saxon activity, supporting the suggested foundation date for the known medieval settlement at Twywell, the results of the investigation are not of sufficient scale to contribute further to any regional research themes or objectives.

title: Images and GIS from an Archaeological Evaluation at 54 Woodmarsh, North Bradley, Wiltshire, September 2022

description: This digital archive contains images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation of land at 54 Woodmarsh, North Bradley, Wiltshire. The work was undertaken In September 2022, by Cotswold Archaeology. A total of three trenches were excavated. The evaluation recorded a single shallow ditch, from which 13 sherds of Roman pottery were recovered. This ditch may represent low-level Roman activity at the site. Alternatively, as the ditch corresponds in alignment to the extant field system, it is possible that it represents a former element within the present field system, and that the Roman material is residual/redeposited within a later feature.&lt;/p&gt;

title: Images and GIS data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Land North of the A40, Thame, Oxfordshire, 2022

description: This digital archive contains images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation of land to the north of the A40, Thame, Oxfordshire. The work was undertaken in February and March 2022, by Cotswold Archaeology. A total of 164 trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were identified throughout the site, closely correlating to the results of preceding geophysical surveys. Ring ditches and an enclosure ditch of later Iron Age date were recorded in the north-western and north-eastern parts of the site, with neonatal human remains recovered from the base of one of the ring ditches. An area of enclosed Early Roman settlement was recorded in the south-eastern part of the site, with ditches, pits and postholes recorded, alongside a substantial artefactual assemblage. Evidence of medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation was identified across the site, correlating with geophysical trends, and former post-medieval/modern agricultural features were also recorded. Numerous features were identified throughout the site which could not be dated artefactually, although many were recorded in the vicinity of dated features and are potentially contemporary.

title: Images from an Archaeological Evaluation at Eye Witness and Ceylon Works, Milton Street, Sheffield 2019

description: This collection comprises images from an archaeological evaluation by Archaeological Research Services Ltd at Eye Witness and Ceylon Works, Milton Street, Sheffield, between 30th April and 3rd May 2019.
Features uncovered in Trench 1 included floors, staircases and walls related to the cellars within the back-to-back houses. Additionally, remains of a later drain between the houses was uncovered. In Trench 2, walls were located, which relate to the toilet block identified in historic maps.
The evaluation trenches demonstrated unequivocally that there was good preservation of archaeological remains below the relatively thin layer of modern overburden and that these remains could be clearly correlated with the buildings shown on historic maps of the site.

title: Images from Archaeological Works to the East of Linacre Road, Chesterfield, Derbyshire 2018

description: This digital archive contains images from a scheme of Archaeological Works on land to the east of Linacre Road, Chesterfield, Derbyshire in advance of planning consent, under the authority of Chesterfield Borough Council and Steve Baker, Archaeologist for Derbyshire County Council, the work was undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd between August and October 2018. The scheme comprised four phases of work fieldwork commencing with a geophysical survey of the whole proposed development area which located potential archaeological features and apparently barren areas. This data was used to inform the second phase of works which comprised the excavation of 31 evaluation trenches targeted to assess the potential archaeological features and blank areas. Based on the results of the evaluation and in consultation with Steve Baker and Kier Asset Partnership Services Ltd. it was agreed to carry out two further phases of work in the form of a Strip, Map, and Sample excavation in the south-eastern filed of the Proposed Development Area and a watching brief focussed on the north-western and south-western fields.

title: Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at Shrivenham Townsend Road, Oxfordshire 2017

description: This digital archive contains spreadsheets, site records, CAD and images from an archaeological evaluation comprising 20 trenches on land off Townsend Road, Shrivenham, Oxfordshire (NGR SU 23100 88510).The work was undertaken by Oxford Archaeoloy between January and February 2017, as required by a planning condition for a proposed new housing development at the site. The trenching programme comprised 20 trenches, each measuring 50m x 1.8m in plan, as shown on Figure 2. The trenches were numbered in a continuous sequence from 1-20. Prior to excavation, each trench was located and marked by an OA surveyor using GPS equipment following the approved trench plan within the WSI. The layout was designed to provide even coverage of the site at a c 3.5 percent sample of the available site area whilst also targeting the linear anomalies identified by the geophysical survey.

description: This digital archive contains images from a strip, map and record exercise on the excavation of the footprint of the new extension in response to a condition on the planning permission for an extension at 9 The Tene, Baldock, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the landowners to undertake the work in June 2018. The recorded stratigraphy, which consisted of topsoil over subsoil, indicates that the site has not been subject to significant ground reduction in the recent past. Modern disturbance was noted, including a soakaway at the north-eastern end of Trench 1 and a live drain which bisected the site. A single feature was encountered at the south-eastern end of Trench 1.

title: Digital Archive from an Archaeological Excavation at Whitworth Way, Wilstead, Bedfordshire, July-September 2018

description: This digital archive contains images, CAD, spreadsheets and a report from an an archaeological excavation on land at Whitworth Way, Wilstead, Bedfordshire. The work was undertaken by MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) between 23rd July 2018 and 13th September 2018. An area measuring 0.63ha was excavated. Occupation on the site started in the 11th century and expanded in the 12th century when a rectangular one acre plot was established, which most likely fronted onto a medieval road. These contained three probable timber structures, one domestic and two agricultural in nature. The northern area of the plot also demonstrated an area of trampling activity associated with animals, most likely cattle. A watering hole utilised by animals grazing to the west of the plots was established, as was a well for the inhabitants of the farmstead. In the later 12th century the plots were subdivided, resulting in four quarter acre plots. The structures were still in use, though not as intensively as the first half of the century. These plots were not in use past the late 12th century when the site reverted to agricultural use until the present day. The only later activity related to the continued use of a large boundary ditch, located to the east and south-east of the site. Activity on the site started in the early 12th century with the establishment of two rectangular one acre plots, which most likely fronted onto a local medieval routeway, representing a lost 'end' of Wilstead.

title: Images from Archaeological Trial Trenching and Evaluation at Bleachcroft Way, Barnsley, 2022

description: This digital archive contains images from a programme of archaeological trenching investigation and recording on land at Bleachcroft Way, Barnsley, South Yorkshire, centred on SE 37220497. The work was undertaken by York Archaeology and was commissioned by Lanpro Services Ltd on behalf of their client Harron Homes Yorkshire. The archaeological investigation comprised the excavation of twelve trenches, all measuring 50 x 1.80m, across the area of development . The trial trench evaluation has met the overall aim of the project, establishing the presence of a series of linear features, mostly associated with agriculture from the medieval to modern periods, with two ditches in Trench 5 perhaps associated with the railway line which formerly crossed the Site.

title: Images from an Archaeological Evaluation at Police Row, Therfield, Hertfordshire 2019

description: This collection comprises images from an archaeological field evaluation by the Heritage Network on land at Police Row, Therfield, Hertfordshire. The work was undertaken in May 2019 in order to advise the local planning authority regarding the archaeological potential of a proposed development on the site.
Nine trial trenches were excavated across the site and a number of boundary features were recorded, suggesting historic sub-divisions into smaller plots, together with one isolated feature that produced the remains of a 12th century shell-tempered bowl or jar, indicating settlement activity in the vicinity.
The collected data suggests a low level of archaeological survival on the site, without any clear focus and of limited significance. The site is likely to have been largely used for agriculture since the Saxon period.

title: Digital Archive from an Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation at Rushden Lakes, Rushden, Northamptonshire 2017

description: This digital archive contains images,report, site records, spreadsheets and CAD from two phases of trial trench evaluation on land within Ditchford Reserve Local Wildlife Site (LWS) to the west of the Rushden Lakes development north-west of Rushden, Northamptonshire (SP 93390 67800). The work was undertaken by Oxford Archaeology (OA),Between 24th April and 24th August 2017. The initial evaluation revealed a variety of geological deposits, reflecting the location of the site at the interface between the solid and superficial geology at the edge of the floodplain. A number of possible features with very sterile sandy fills were identified but, where sample excavation took place, were predominantly interpreted as being of probable geological origin. A number of these were more regular in plan and profile and may have represented ditches, although no artefactual material was present beyond the topsoil interface with the feature fills. The deposits that filled the features were also very similar in composition to the geological deposits. A small assemblage of worked flint artefacts was present within two of the trenches indicating prehistoric activity at this location. However, the association between these artefacts and the possible features remains unclear. A number of modern field drains were identified, one of which appeared to be draining from a low-lying area into the reed marsh to the north.

title: Images and GIS from an Evaluation at Hillworth Road, Devizes, Wiltshire, February 2022

description: This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation on land at Hillworth Road, Devizes, Wiltshire carried out by Cotswold Archaeology in February 2022. A total of 22 trenches were excavated at the site. The evaluation recorded a small number of ditches and pits across the site. The majority of the archaeological features at the site were undated, although a small amount of late prehistoric pottery was recovered from one ditch and others contained post-medieval/modern artefacts. The majority of the undated and post-medieval/modern ditches are on the broad alignment of the extant field system and presumably represent former elements within that system.

title: Images and GIS Data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Moortown Lane, Ringwood, Hampshire, January to February 2022

description: This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation of land off Moortown Lane, Ringwood, Hampshire. This work was undertaken in January and February 2022 by Cotswold Archaeology. A total of 212 trenches were excavated. The earliest phase of activity on site was centred around a Bronze Age double ring ditch barrow. A smaller ring gully, waste pits and possible enclosure ditches were also dated to this period in the vicinity of the barrow. One possible Roman, and three possible medieval field boundaries were identified on site. A small number of undated ditches may also link to Post Medieval enclosure of the site in the 19th Century.

title: Images and GIS data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Frome Road, Upper Studley, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, July 2022

description: This collection comprises images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation at Land off Frome Road, Upper Studley, Trowbridge, Wiltshire. This work was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2022. A total of 15 trenches were excavated. Two pits, containing a small assemblage of worked flint and hammerscale, were identified in trenches excavated in the northwestern part of the site. The precise function of these features remains unclear, however the relatively small quantities of artefactual material recovered from the fills of these features suggest that they may have lain at an appreciable distance from any areas of former, prehistoric settlement, should this have existed. They are therefore considered most likely to have been associated with seasonal or transient activity situated on an area of higher ground adjacent to the Lambrok Stream.

title: Images from an Archaeological Watching Brief at Saints Trail, St Agnes, Cornwall, October 2020 to January 2023

description: This collection comprises images from an archaeological watching brief at Saints Trail, St Agnes, Cornwall. This work was undertaken by Cornwall Archaeological Unit between October 2020 and January 2023. The principal aim of the study was to gain a better understanding of the archaeology of the development area, including the historic character and development of the traditional Cornish hedges in the area. A total of eleven hedges were breached during the first stage of works and soil was stripped across nine fields. There were no features found during the groundworks. Several pieces of 19th or 20th century pottery and glass were recovered during the watching brief.
