TVAS SouthWest Update: Open Excavation reveals BA Enclosure

Extensive excavation at Bath Road in Gloucestershire has identified archaeological activity ranging from the Neolithic to the early Iron Age. Notably, within the wide range of features recorded during the investigation were two cremation burials and further ditches forming a Bronze Age enclosure. Due to limitations of excavation area the enclosure was only partially exposed. The large amount of pottery recovered (185 sherds weighing a total of 462g) over two phases of the excavation have suggested an activity spike around the early to middle Bronze age.

We are currently in the process of completing the final stages of post excavation and hope to publish the complete report soon. The report from this excavation and all of our other projects are available in the link provided below. If you wish to be kept informed on current TVAS Projects please add us on Facebook and Twitter.
