Description

A post-determination evaluation, comprising 23 evaluation trenches, was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in December 2018 at Stane Park II, Yeomary Way, Stanway.<1> In Phase 2, a shallow gully and a small pit were recorded in Trench 38; both features were undated. Shallow circular pit, 3803, measured 0.87m in diameter x 0.10m deep. The single fill was composed of yellow/brown clay/silt. Immediately to the west of the pit, there was a N to S orientated gully, 3806, which measured a maximum of 1.35m wide x 0.17m deep and which contained a single fill: grey silt/sand with frequent flint gravel. The evaluation followed a pre-determination trial-trenched evaluation in April-May 2018 (ECC4222).<2>
