Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an office complex which lay within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and an Area of Great Landscape Value. Evidence of Palaeolithic activity had been recorded in the surrounding area, and there was a high probablity that the area occupied by Walton Oaks had been exploited during the Roman period. The site also had potential for evidence of medieval occupation, and was known to have been occupied in the 17th century. During the evaluation, a number of features which may have been associated with formal gardens were revealed, and an extremely large, undated ditch was located. The remains of a recently-demolished building were also found. The garden features contained very few artefacts, although an abraded sherd of residual Roman pottery and a small number of post-medieval artefacts were recovered. It was recommended that no further fieldwork should be carried out at the site. [AIP] |
