Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development, which lay within a designated Area of High Archaeological Potential at the core of a medieval village. The route of a Roman road passed nearby, whilst flint artefacts and cropmarks representing prehistoric or Romano-British enclosures had been recorded in the area. During the evaluation, two medieval features which were probably ditches, an undated ditch and an 18th century feature, possibly a sunken pathway, were recorded. Medieval and post-medieval pottery and other artefacts were recovered. Large quantities of peas, beans, grain and chaff recovered from an environmental sample may have indicated grain processing in the vicinity. It was suggested that the site may have been a farmyard since the 12th or 13th centuries. [AIP] |
