TAILIEUCHUNG - Second interim report on investigations at the Acton Scott Roman Villa, Acton Scott, Shropshire Acton Scott Heritage Project

Permanent grass cover crop is a technique used in the vineyards of Villa Bel-Air. As a result, the grass absorbs the water and the nutrients from the top layer of the soil, and forces the vine roots to go deeper and deeper to find nourishment. Throughout the year, de-budding, leaf-thinning and crop thinning are performed by the technical team. All of these manual operations ensure the perfect health and maturity of each bunch. The harvested grapes are then transferred onto a modern sorting table to remove all remaining vegetal matter. They are then put into a vat room that contains 15 stainless steel thermo-regulated tanks | Second interim report on investigations at the Acton Scott Roman Villa Acton Scott Shropshire Acton Scott Heritage Project by H R Hannaford Painted plaster from the Acton Scott Roman Villa excavations 1844 5 Shropshire Council Archaeology Service Community Services Directorate Shropshire Council SECOND INTERIM REPORT ON INVESTIGATIONS AT THE ACTON SCOTT ROMAN VILLA ACTON SCOTT SHROPSHIRE ACTON SCOTT HERITAGE PROJECT by_ H R HANNAFORD MIfA Supported by The National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund heritage 1 lottery fund Archaeology Service Report Number 283 Shropshire Council December 2010 Archaeology Service Shropshire Archives Castle Gates Shrewsbury SY1 2AQ Tel 01743 255353 Fax 01743 255355 Email archaeology@ Website Second interim report on investigations at the Acton Scott Roman Villa Acton Scott Shropshire CONTENTS 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 SUMMARY INTRODUCTION AIMS AND OBJECTIVES ARCHAEOLOGICAL BACKGROUND THE RESULTS FROM 2007-8 THE TRIAL EXCAVATIONS IN SEPTEMBER 2009 DISCUSSION REFERENCES ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Page no. 2 3 4 5 7 10 16 19 19 ILLUSTRATIONS Figure 1 Location of the study area Figure 2 Location of the 2009 trial trenches Figure 3 a Trench A plan view b Trench B plan view scale 1 50 Figure 4 a Trench C plan view b Trench C areas i and ii plan view scale 1 50 Figure 5 Trench C north end a features 37 68 71 plan view scale 1 50 b pit 68 east-facing section scale 1 20 Figure 6 a Trench D north end showing feature 89 plan view b Trench E showing former road 86 plan view scale 1 50 Figure 7 Trench F a plan view scale 1 50 b pit 77 south-facing section c ditch 12 west-facing section both scale 1 20 Table 1 The bulk finds Table 2 The small finds PHOTOS Photo 1 Collapsed roof 33 at the south end of Trench A Photo 2 The remains of floor surfaces at the south end of Trench B Photo 3 Pits 68 72 at the north end of Trench C Photo 4 Road surface 86 at the north end of Trench E Photo 5 Coin 1009 diam 9mm
