INTRODUCTION 1.1 In August 2010 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for Mr R. Stone at 6 Buttington Terrace, Beachley, Tidenham, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: ST 5489 9297; Fig. 1). The watching brief was undertaken to fulfil condition (no. 3) attached to a planning consent for the alteration and extension to the dwelling including conversion of garage to create additional living accommodation and provision of annexe accommodation for dependent relative and change of use of land to create additional residential curtilage (Planning ref: P0892/10/COU). The objective of the watching brief was to record all archaeological remains exposed during the development. 1.2 The watching brief was carried out in accordance with a Brief for Archaeological Recording (GCC 2008), prepared by Charles Parry, Senior Archaeological Officer, the archaeological advisor to Forest of Dean District Council (FODC) and with a subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2010) and approved by FODC acting on the advice of Charles Parry. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Watching Brief (IfA 2008), the Statement of Standards and Practices Appropriate for Archaeological Fieldwork in Gloucestershire (GCC 1995), the Management of Archaeological Projects (English Heritage 1991) and the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE) (English Heritage 2006). The site 1.3 The site is approximately 346m² and comprises the rear and side gardens of the property, which is located at the north-western extent of six terraced houses (Fig 2). The site lies at approximately 28m AOD. 1.4 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Red Marl of the Triassic era (BGS 1981). The natural substrate encountered on site was a mid orange silty clay. Archaeological background 1.5 Research indicates that the site is located in an area of high archaeological potential. The site lies immediately to the south of Scheduled Monument 34859, a section of Offa’s Dyke to the north-east of Buttington Farm. Offa’s Dyke is an early 3 © Cotswold Archaeology 6 Buttington Terrace, Beachley, Tidenham, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief medieval ditch and bank, probably a fortification, on the approximate line of the border between England and Wales (SMR Ref 500). Approximately 130km of the Dyke survives, with the southern terminus lying 350m to the south-east of the site, at Sedbury Cliffs. The Scheduling Description for the section of the dyke to the north of Buttington Terrace records that the earthwork remains of the Dyke survive well, and are extant to approximately 3.5m above the surrounding landscape. Additional earthworks, including ditches and berms, are also recorded along this section of the dyke, although it is unclear if these lie in the vicinity of the site. 1.6 Further archaeological deposits in the area include a crouched burial of beaker type, which was identified during the construction of a sewer in Beachley (Barnett 1964). Later deposits, comprising evidence of 1st-century AD activity, have been recorded elsewhere in Beachley (GCC 2008). An archaeological evaluation undertaken by Monmouth Archaeology to the north-west of the site, recorded a single cut feature containing Romano-British pottery (SMR Ref 32524). An area of possible medieval ridge and furrow earthworks has been recorded by the National Mapping Project to the south of Buttington Terrace (SMR Ref 22503), as well as a possible area of water meadows to the north-east (SMR Ref 4058). Methodology 1.7 The fieldwork followed the methodology set out within the WSI (CA 2010). An archaeologist was present during intrusive groundworks comprising the excavation of the footprint of the proposed extension (Fig. 2). 1.8 Where archaeological deposits were encountered written, graphic and photographic records were compiled in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual (2007). 1.9 The archive and artefacts from the evaluation are currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble. Subject to the agreement of the legal landowner the artefacts will be deposited with Dean Heritage Museum, Cinderford, along with the site archive. A summary of information from this project, set out within Appendix C, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. 4 © Cotswold Archaeology 6 Buttington Terrace, Beachley, Tidenham, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief 2. RESULTS (FIGS 2-3) 2.1 Natural substrate 103 consisting of a mid orange silt clay, was revealed at an average depth of 0.6m below present ground level (bpgl). This was overlain by a light yellow sandy silt subsoil averaging 0.16m in thickness, which was in turn sealed by 0.08m of greyish yellow sandy silt, followed by a dark grey sandy silt topsoil averaging a thickness of 0.35m. 2.2 Ditch 104/107 was identified in the north-western corner of the trench and was orientated east/west. The ditch had a narrow and U-shaped profile with a flat base and contained fill 105/108. This was re-cut by ditch 119/120 on the same alignment and which contained fill 106/109. Fill 106 contained 40 sherds of black-fired sand and grog-tempered pottery from the same vessel which dated to the late 1st to the 2nd-centuries AD. Although the feature terminated within the area covered by the groundworks, it appeared to continue beyond the limit of excavation to the west. 2.3 To the south-east of the ditch probable tree throw pit 110/113 was amorphous and shallow. Upper fill 112 contained fragments of a Severn Valley ware storage jar, grey ware and a single body sherd of black sandy fabric, broadly dating the deposit to the Roman period. The south-eastern extent of this feature was truncated by modern service 116. The Finds 2.4 Quantities of Roman pottery were recovered from two separate deposits 106 and 112 (Appendix B). 2.5 A total of 40 sherds, all from the same vessel and in a black-firing sand and grog- tempered fabric, were retrieved from deposit 106. The fabric suggests a date for this deposit in the late 1st to 2nd centuries AD. 2.6 Deposit 112 contained 11 sherds identifiable as from three different fabrics and comprising a Severn Valley ware storage jar, and bodysherds in a black sandy fabric and fine greyware. The assemblage from this deposit is broadly dateable to the Roman period (later 1st to 4th centuries AD). 5 © Cotswold Archaeology 6 Buttington

  • New Hoards from Seventeenth-Century England Ii B.J
    NEW HOARDS FROM SEVENTEENTH-CENTURY ENGLAND II B.J. COOK 1. Davenham, Cheshire THIS group of thirty-two silver coins of Mary I and Elizabeth I was reported found on farmland near Davenham, Cheshire, by Mr C. Bailey in August 2000.1 Mr Bailey was metal-detecting on ploughland with the permission of the landowner. The coins were found in the sub-soil at a depth of about eighteen inches. Three of the coins were found stuck together, but the rest were scattered over approximately twenty square feet. The find was reported to the Cheshire coroner via Stephen Penny, curator of Salt Museum, of Cheshire Museums Service. A report on the coins was submitted to the coroner by the British Museum, on the basis of which the coins were declared to be Treasure at an inquest on 15 December 2000. The hoard was then acquired by Cheshire Museums Service. Davenham is a small village in the Hundred of Northwich. The coins consisted of just two denominations, twenty-nine shillings (one of Philip and Mary, and the rest of Elizabeth), and three groats (one of Mary and two of Elizabeth).2 The absence of any coins datable to the period 1561—82 is the result of this denomination selection, since no shillings or groats were produced in these years. If the find is categorised as essentially a group of shillings, the coins present fairly reflect the relative outputs of this denomination throughout Elizabeth's reign. The face value of the group was the round figure of thirty shillings. The latest coin present dates to 1601-2.

Excluding listed places of worship, for which the survey is still incomplete,1,150 assets have been removed for positive reasons since the Register was launched in 2008.The sites that remain at risk tend to be the more intractable ones where solutions are taking longer to implement. While the overall number of buildings at risk has fallen, the average conservation deficit for each property has increased from £260k (1999) to £370k (2012).We are also seeing a steady increase in the proportion of buildings that are capable of beneficial re-use – those that have become redundant not because of any fundamental lack of potential, but simply as the temporary victims of the current economic climate. The South West headlines for 2012 reveal a mixed picture. We will continue to fund Monument Management It is good news that 8 buildings at risk have been removed Schemes which, with match-funding from local authorities, from the Register; less good that another 15 have had to offer a cost-effective, locally led approach to tackling be added.

Forest of Dean and Lower Wye Area profile: Supporting documents Introduction National Character Areas map As part of Natural England’s responsibilities as set out in the Natural Environment White Paper1, Biodiversity 20202 and the European Landscape Convention3, we are revising profiles for England’s 159 National Character Areas (NCAs). These are areas that share similar landscape characteristics, and which follow natural lines in the landscape rather than administrative boundaries, making them a good decision-making framework for the natural environment. NCA profiles are guidance documents which can help communities to inform theirdecision-making about the places that they live in and care for. The informationthey contain will support the planning of conservation initiatives at a landscape scale, inform the delivery of Nature Improvement Areas and encourage broader partnership working through Local Nature Partnerships. The profiles will also help to inform choices about how land is managed and can change. Each profile includes a description of the natural and cultural features that shape our landscapes, how the landscape has changed over time, the current key drivers for ongoing change, and a broad analysis of each area’s characteristics and ecosystem services. Statements of Environmental Opportunity (SEOs) are suggested, which draw on this integrated information. The SEOs offer guidance on the critical issues, which could help to achieve sustainable growth and a more secure environmental future. 1 The Natural Choice: Securing the Value of Nature, Defra NCA profiles are working documents which draw on current evidence and (2011; URL: www.official-documents.gov.uk/document/cm80/8082/8082.pdf) 2 knowledge.

  • JOY… Puppy Love!
    THE PARISH OF TIDENHAM (& St Briavels with Hewelsfield & Brockweir) WEEKLY PARISH BRIEFING SUNDAY 13 DECEMBER 2020 JOY… Puppy Love! What is cause of joy in your life? Whilst 2020 has been a miserable year in so many ways I, we don’t want to lose sight of the good things that have happened which have been a cause for great joy. For me just lately, meeting up with couples wanting to get married 2021 and hearing their stories has given me joy. Going to stay my sister just before lockdown was also a great joy. And having little Leo, our 10-week-old Golden Retriever, join us a few weeks ago has been a wonderful joy. Sorry, I had to get a picture of him in. Hopefully in time he will become a regular member of our congregations wearing his dog collar! Reflect on what gives you true joy? Notice it and give thanks for it. Joy is the serious business of Heaven. CS Lewis Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went. Jonathan Sacks The pain of parting is nothing to the joy of meeting again. Charles Dickens The walls we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy. Jim Rohn There is a joy … which is given to those who love Thee for Thine own sake, whose joy Thou Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee, of Thee, for Thee; this it is, and there is no other.
