Abstract: |
The evaluation identified three areas of archaeological interest. Firstly, one location produced evidence of apparently low-level prehistoric activity close to a stream. This was located towards the south-east corner of the proposed development area. Secondly, earthwork features of both medieval (ridge and furrow) and later date (lynchets and holloways) provided evidence of former landuse and activity. Thirdly, evidence of a flight of fishponds was recorded along the route of a stream which ran across the north-eastern part of the site. One of the ponds appeared to have been infilled in the 16th-17th century suggesting that the ponds were of some antiquity. Evidence pointed towards a possible medieval date for the features.
