No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks, and no artefacts pre-dating the modern period were recovered. 2 © Cotswold Archaeology Hampnett Manor, Hampnett, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 In September 2010 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological watching brief for Brendan Boyle Architects on behalf of Mr Jeremy Rigg at Hampnett Manor, Hampnett, Gloucestershire (centred on NGR: SP 0998 1572; Fig. 1). The watching brief was undertaken to fulfil model condition 55 from DoE Circular 11/95 attached to planning consent for an extension to an existing garage (Cotswold District Council (CDC) Planning ref: 10/02376/FUL). 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 2010) issued by Mr Charles Parry, Senior Archaeological Officer, Gloucestershire County Council (GCC), the archaeological advisor to CDC, and with a subsequent detailed Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) produced by CA (2010) and approved by Mr Parry. The fieldwork also followed the Standard and Guidance for Archaeological Field Evaluation issued by the Institute for Archaeologists (2008), the Statement of Standards and Practices Appropriate for Archaeological Fieldwork in Gloucestershire issued by Gloucestershire County Council Archaeology Section (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 comprises an area of approximately 0.5ha and is a residential property (Fig. 2). It lies within the village of Hampnett at approximately 205m AOD, with ground level dropping away towards a valley to the south-west. 1.4 The underlying solid geology of the area is mapped as Taynton Limestone Formation of the Bathonian geological era (BGS 2010). Limestone was exposed during the watching brief. Archaeological background 1.5 Archaeological interest in the site arises from its proximity to St George’s Church, a 12th-century structure with substantial 15th-century additions (Images of England 2010). The site of the proposed development is therefore in an area where medieval settlement is likely to have been present. 3 © Cotswold Archaeology Hampnett Manor, Hampnett, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief 1.6 In 2004 archaeological investigations in connection with the construction of an extension on the site found no archaeological remains (GCC 2010). 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 a 0.6m wide foundation trench for the garage 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 from the watching brief is currently held by CA at their offices in Kemble and will be deposited with Corinium Museum. A summary of information from this project, set out within Appendix B, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. 2. RESULTS (FIG. 2) 2.1 The natural geological substrate 103, consisting of limestone, was revealed throughout the foundation trench at an average depth of 0.3m below present ground level. This was overlain by the subsoil 102 and topsoil 101. 2.2 No features or deposits of archaeological interest were observed during groundworks and, despite visual scanning of spoil, no artefacts pre-dating the modern period were recovered. The material has not been retained. 3. DISCUSSION 3.1 Despite the archaeological potential of the application area (see archaeological background above), the watching brief identified no archaeological remains within the area of observed groundworks. The presence of subsoil above the natural substrate suggests that no significant truncation occurred during the erection of the existing garage and that any archaeological remains that might have been present would have survived. Therefore, the absence of archaeological deposits indicates 4 © Cotswold Archaeology Hampnett Manor, Hampnett, Gloucestershire: Archaeological Watching Brief that remains associated with the medieval and later settlement at Hampnett either do not extend as far as, or were not exposed by, the development. 4. CA PROJECT TEAM Fieldwork was undertaken by Jonathan Hart. This report was written by Jonathan Hart with illustrations prepared by Lorna Gray. The archive has been compiled by Jonathan Hart and prepared for deposition by James Johnson. The project was managed for CA by Richard Young. 5.

  • The Early Medieval Period Andrew Reynolds
    The Early Medieval Period Andrew Reynolds Of the periods considered in this volume after the Mesolithic, the early middle ages remains the most difficult to identify in the archaeological record. Archaeology has revealed a few new but significant sites since the 1980s ahd the practice of metal detecting continues to augment the material record. While the data remain limited, scholarly thinking in early medieval archaeology has changed significantly since the mid to late 1980s and what is offered here is a narrative that reviews the significance of certain previously known sites, but which explores additional themes such as the chronology and nature of territorial organisation. This paper, therefore, is not intended as a comprehensive guide to the early medieval archaeology of the county, but rather as an attempt to place aspects of the known evidence in relation to new discoveries and in the light of current thinking at a national level. The archaeology of towns and recent work on ecclesiastical sites is only cursorily mentioned. The abbreviation ASC in the text refers to the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle (Swanton 2000). INTRODUCTION Gloucestershire was border country during the early middle ages. During the 6th and early 7th centuries, the county lay at the western limit of cemeteries containing burials with Germanic associations, a feature shared with Wiltshire to the south and the Marcher counties, Hereford and Worcester, to the north. Quite what this distribution represents is considered further below. When documents allow a clearer picture of the emergence of the 11th-century shire, it is as the southern part of the province of the Hwicce, a people first mentioned in the second quarter of the 7th century and politically defunct one hundred years later having lost any aspects of semi-independence that they may have possessed to the Mercians (Stenton 1971, 45).
