Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a quarry, which lay close to an area of previous large-scale quarrying which had revealed evidence of Iron Age and Roman occupation, including human remains. The topography of the proposal site included several broad hollows, indicating that previous ground disturbance had occurred. During the evaluation, it was found that much of the area had been subjected to superficial quarrying to a maximum depth of 1.1m below the existing ground surface. The extent of the quarrying related in part to the hollows at the surface, but it was also clear from the trench results that quarrying had occurred outside the more prominent visible features in the central part of the survey area. The date of the quarrying was uncertain, but it was probably of late 19th to early 20th century origin. Artefacts recovered included 19th century pottery and post-medieval tile fragments. It was concluded that development of the site would be unlikely to have any effects on significant archaeological deposits. [AIP] |
