Zones of extreme magnetic variation were recorded by the magnetometer survey, almost certainly reflecting modern activities. A few linear anomalies were resolved as potential buried ditches, one possibly relating to an Iron Age feature. A possible pit or area of localised burning was also recorded. The survey was largely inconclusive.

Medbourne, Leicestershire Gaffney, C F & Sheil, D Thornton : GSB Prospection, 2005, 14pp, figs, refs, CD Work undertaken by: GSB Prospection A survey was carried out for Channel 4's "Time Team". Gradiometer survey successfully recorded the detailed layout of part of the Roman town, comprising a complex of linked enclosures or "ladder" settlement with numerous pits and probable burnt features. There was no obvious relationship between the settlement and projected line of the Roman road, suggesting that the road took a different line upon reaching the settlement. Gradiometer and resistance survey in the southern part of the site located a number of potential features associated with the postulated early Christian chapel site. The survey indicated that settlement continued further to the south than previously thought.

  • Investigating the Origins of Great Easton, Leicestershire: Commumity Archaeology Meets the ‘Big Dig’
    INVESTIGATING THE ORIGINS OF GREAT EASTON, LEICESTERSHIRE: COMMUMITY ARCHAEOLOGY MEETS THE ‘BIG DIG’. Nicholas J. Cooper and Vicki Score On Sunday June 22nd 2003, the inhabitants of Great Easton in the Welland Valley, in southeast Leicestershire, together with professional archaeologists from the University of Leicester and Channel 4’s Time Team, undertook a one-day field work investigation to try to establish the origins of their village and to chart its subsequent development. In conjunction with geophysical survey, a total of 41 metre-square test pits and two machine-excavated trenches were opened up across the village and dug to a maximum depth of 0.6m or until archaeology or natural was encountered (Fig. 1). Pits 14, 23, 35 & 44 were not excavated. Although most of the archaeological features recorded were modern (with the notable exceptions of a late Roman or Early Anglo-Saxon cobbled surface from Test Pit 3 and medieval plot boundaries in Trench 40) the artefactual material from the investigation has added considerably to the existing body of knowledge gathered by the Great Easton Fieldwork Group (Burningham and Wallis 2004, Fig. 1) over the last 20 years. This, along with more recent developer-funded opportunities, allows us to trace this focus of settlement back to the Roman period or later Iron Age (Fig. 2). Analysis of the pottery assemblage and its distribution has confirmed and complemented the findings of earlier work, which suggested the existence of a Roman period settlement (probably with an Iron Age antecedent), in the north- eastern part of the village, on higher ground around the church and immediately to the north in Lount’s Crescent.

  • NEWSLETTER 141 Summer/Autumn 2017
    NEWSLETTER 141 Summer/Autumn 2017 GLOSARCH FIELDWORK Pittville Park by James Hodsdon In preparation for helping Cheltenham Borough Council draw up proposals for improving the surroundings of the Pump Room, the Friends of Pittville (FoP), a local amenity group, wanted to establish what if anything remained of the short flight of steps which once terminated the broad walk which until the 1890s ran up towards the Pump Room from the Upper Lake. The steps are visible on maps and postcards up to about 1900. The two plinths which bookended the steps are still there but now appear rather insignificant because the ground level has been built up over the years. The solution was to do some practical archaeology, and at 9 a.m. on 20 April several FoP members took a break from normal Thursday park duties. Under the supervision of Gloucestershire Archaeology experts Les Comtesse, Terry Moore-Scott and Nigel Spry, and with CBC in attendance, three test pits were opened, each roughly 1.5m sq, one each next to the east and west plinths, and one half way between. Because of the dry weather, the soil under the turf proved hard going, and we were over two hours in before any intelligible features came to light (not counting bottle caps, old lighters, confetti, etc). It was pretty clear that the stone steps themselves had gone – very probably between 1891, when we know the broad walk was turfed over, and 1900 when the bandstand was placed centrally between the plinths (a short-lived Bad Idea, corrected when the bandstand was shifted to its present location a year later).

But if we set aside these stories, do we really know what happened when, and why it's so important? Which came first, the Bronze Age or the Stone Age? Why did the Romans play such a significant role in our past? And how did a nation as small as Britain come to command such a vast empire?

    552 HIGH PEAK HUNDRED. greatest diversity of architectural proportions, no two being exactly alike.

The township contains 2255A. 3R. 25P. of land, and in 1851 had 60 houses and 346 inhabitants, of whom 160 were males and 186 females; rateable value £2598 2s. 6d. His Grace the Duke of Devonshire is sole owner. The Church, dedicated to St. Peter, is situated in the centre of the village on elevated ground, and is approached by a flight of steps. It is a venerable stone edifice, with nave, chancel. side aisles, and square tower containing 4 bells. It was given at an early period by Fulcher, ancestor of the Shirleys, to the monastery of Rochester, in Staffordshire. In the chancel is a very elegant monument to the first Earl of Devonshire, which is composed of several figures the size of life sculptured in relief, and of the most elaborate workmanship. A table monument has two recumbent figures, one clothed in the dress of the times, the other representing a skeleton. “ There is something,” says Mr. Rhodes, “strikingly impressive in this representation of a man who appears to have just passed from time into eternity, with all the habiliments of life about him, and the bare ribbed image of Death, which lies at his side, awfully intimating the transition that must soon be made. The sculptor has here bodied forth a lesson of mortality which is extremely simple, yet full of pathos and instruction.” The following is a monumental inscription to Henry, son of Wm.

We are delighted to be launching our new strategy to take us to 2020 (see opposite), with the ambition of being the leading heritage practice focused on delivering high-quality archaeological projects, providing good value for our clients, communicating exciting and up-to-date information to the public, and being a stimulating, safe and rewarding place to work. Our vision is to be at the forefront of advancing knowledge about the past and working in partnership with others for public benefit. A key element of the strategy is communication, both externally and internally. Since March 2007, we have produced 30 in-house magazines, one every quarter in printed and digital formats, and each packed with project news, in addition to providing information for staff on employment matters. Over time, they have become more glossy, but the challenge has been deciding what to exclude, not how to fill the space. They are We also have special features which showcase five particular a testament to the huge variety of work that has been under aspects of our work over the year: our HLF community projects; way, from strategic studies and research, through an immense National Heritage Protection Projects undertaken for English diversity of fieldwork, to news on our publications.
