Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay within the grounds of Nonsuch Palace. Prehistoric sites, Roman and Saxon settlements and a medieval village lay in the vicinity. During the evaluation, a number of features were revealed, including a ditch or gully and a pit which each contained two sherds of late Roman pottery, a pit containing fragments of animal jawbone and two flint flakes of possible Bronze Age date, and two gullies, one of which contained possible Roman pottery. A further ditch or gully containing prehistoric flints was also recorded. The relatively few trial trenches which contained features or artefacts of archaeological interest appeared to have been concentrated in two areas, with isolated features and findspots between them. It was recommended that a watching brief should be carried out during any excavations connected with the development which were expected to reach a depth of 0.70m from the ground surface. [AIP] |
