Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation, consisting of four trial trenches, failed to find any archaeological features other than recent pits and services. However, some finds were recovered from the ploughsoil that indicated activity on the site had occurred over a considerable period. A sherd of probable Bronze Age date was identified. Sherds of Iron Age and Roman (both early and late) pottery in quite large quantities, suggested that they derived from manuring of fields. The ploughsoil examined was found to have formed in the medieval and post-medieval periods. [Au(adp)] |
