Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay within an area of former wetland and reclaimed saltmarsh. Evidence of Romano-British activity and settlement had been recorded within the wetland zone, whilst an enclosure and a possible house platform close to the site were visible on aerial photographs. During the evaluation, a sequence of modern made ground which overlay a buried former land surface was recorded. A ditch was also revealed which could not be dated, but which was thought to have been of Romano-British origin and related to agricultural activity or land drainage. Two sherds of possible Romano-British pottery and a fragment of an early post-medieval spout or bung-hole were recovered. It was concluded that archaeological monitoring of groundworks at the site would be necessary only in the event that excavations were to expose stratigraphy beyond a certain depth. [Au(adp)] |
