Abstract:
This evaluation identified archaeological remains and investigated previously noted cropmarks. The site covered the western edge of an 'island' of first terrace gravel surrounded by alluvium that reflected the courses of former river channels. A channel was present along the western and southern parts of the site. A suspected late Roman trackway was identified, which appeared to be associated with a change in land use from arable to pasture when alluviation of the area had occurred (due to the rising water table). An undated ditch was located, possibly linked with the Roman arable phase of land use. A small pit containing burnt bone was probably a human cremation, suggesting the presence of a possible funerary monument. Undated pits and a posthole along with burnt-out tree throw pits on the southern edge of the island indicated prehistoric activity. Woodland clearance perhaps occurred during the Roman period.
