Abstract: |
A fieldwalking survey and a magnetometer survey were undertaken in the area surrounding a corridor of land proposed for a new bypass. Earthworks representing medieval settlement remains, a cropmark indicating a possible ring ditch and the site of Hillsborough Manor lay close to the proposed route. During the geophysical survey, a complex of ditches and enclosures characteristic of Iron Age and Romano-British rural activity was recorded. A dense scatter of Romano-British pottery appeared to be related to the complex. Ridge and furrow running up to a hollow way close to the medieval earthworks was also recorded. During the fieldwalking survey, Early Neolithic flints, Saxon and medieval pottery and two Iron Age sherds were recovered. No trace of the possible ring ditch was detected. [AIP] |
