Abstract: |
An archaeological fieldwalking survey was undertaken to locate and determine the nature and extent of sites of archaeological interest prior to the possible selection of target areas for further archaeological evaluation. An area of pasture was surveyed topographically and found to contain a number of earthworks, soil profiles and magnetic susceptibility values were taken from these features. Although very few datable finds, such as flint and pottery sherds, were recovered, three possible patterns of distribution were indicated to the east, south-west and north-west of the site. The widespread occurrence of fire-cracked pebbles (or 'pot-boilers') suggested a further, more widespread distribution to the east and centre of the site. Despite the observed patterns, it was not possible to identify archaeological sites with any degree of certainty, although target areas for possible future work were indicated. [Au] |
