Abstract: |
A desk top study identified the presence of prehistoric pit alignments, showing as cropmarks on aerial photogrpahs, crossing the proposed development area. Fieldwalking over the eastern half of the site (the west field was unavailable for inspection) established that there was little evidence for occupation during the Roman and medieval periods, with the majority of pottery finds being 17th century or later in date. These areas likely to represent manuring of the land rather than settlement remains. Twenty flint artefacts recovered during the fieldwalking may be associated with the pit alignments. A large disused ironstone quarry in the east field appeared to have destroyed the pit alignment in this part of the development area but further investigation may be required of the field to the west where two alignments intersect.
