Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of three trial trenches (10m, 7m and ?m by 1.6m), and the monitoring of nine geotechnical test pits, was undertaken across the site prior to its proposed residential development. The test pits revealed a possible hearth and limestone wall, two undated ditches, possible Roman deposits, a possible clay extraction pit, medieval furrows and a post-medieval field ditch. The evaluation trenches revealed a possible fence line, marked by post holes, with an adjacent gully for drainage, two undated north-east - south-west orientated ditches, a scoop containing Roman pottery sherds, and three pits, which, along with the scoop, contained similar fill material. One of these contained a sherd of decorated Samian pottery. The test pits and evaluation trenches established that archaeological activity was concentrated close to the existing South Road.
