| Abstract: |
A watching brief on the re-routing of a gas pipeline in advance of the proposed Wainscott by-pass revealed a general lack of archaeological material. Thirteen areas were examined, nine of which produced artefacts or features. Two important areas were revealed. An area of burning within the brickearth and within a shallow hollow, was possibly a hunter-gatherer camping site. Worked flint and flakes were found in this area but there is no evidence that they are contemporary to the fire. The flints appear to be from hillwash but with a third of them lying on the surface of the natural brickearth, there is a possibility of some activity in that area. The second important area revealed was a regular sided linear feature but no artefacts were recovered to give its date or function. A few Roman and post-medieval artefacts were found. [AIP] |
