Abstract: |
TUN 027, Street Farm Barn, School Road, Tunstall: A trial trench evaluation was carried out at the above site in advance of a small housing development. Two trenches (total area 78m2) were excavated, representing approximately 4.5% of the site. The geological stratum comprises a sandy clay/silt at a depth of approximately 0.50m below ground level. This is sealed by layers of subsoil (a possible 'worked soil' horizon) and modern topsoil. Archaeological features were recorded in one of the two evaluation trenches, cutting the geological stratum. Seven small pits or postholes, apparently arranged in two parallel rows oriented EW, are possible evidence for buildings/structures although other interpretations (such as planting holes) are possible. Three of the pits produced medieval pottery dated to the late 12th-14th centuries, although the presence of earlier pottery suggests previous occupation or use of the site. An EW ditch, presumed to be a former field boundary or enclosure ditch, produced post-medieval pottery dated to the 16th-18th centuries. |
