| Abstract: |
<summary>Preliminary evaluation of the area likely to be affected by the proposed construction of a motorway junction and carriageway widening was undertaken. Fieldwalking and field checking of areas of archaeological potential identified during desk-based assessment recovered three flint flakes of Palaeolithic character, flint scatters of Mesolithic/Neolithic and Later Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date, sherds of Iron Age pottery, two distinct concentrations of Roman pottery and scatters of medieval pottery representing manuring activity. Areas of ridge and furrow earthworks were also identified. {italon}AIP{italoff}{spacea} |
