Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken prior to the proposed construction of a greyhound track. The work was undertaken as the site lies in an area where there is archaeological evidence for late prehistoric and Romano-British activity. The evaluation consisted of the excavation of four trenches, totalling 114m square of the development area. Possible archaeological remains were identifed in Trench 1 in the form of a possible terminus or small pit, however it may have been a natural feature resulting from root disturbance prior to the landscaping of the racecourse. The remains of ridge and furrow were visible in Trench 2 and Trench 4 |
