Abstract: |
Six trial trenches were excavated in advance of the construction of 19 houses and nine apartments. The evaluation trenching did not locate any substantial archaeological remains. Although a single sherd of late Roman pottery was recovered, no Roman features were identified, confirming suggestions that the possible settlement, thought to be nearby, did not extend into this area. Neither were major medieval deposits encountered. Although one ditch may have been medieval, with an intrusive sherd of 18th century pottery, it probably represented an outlying boundary rather than an extension of the village to the west. The investigation into a large depression was not conclusive. Its size was suggestive of a pond, but comparison with features investigated in the village hinted that it may have been a quarry. Whether pond or quarry, there was no evidence that feature 3 was excavated earlier than the 17th century, and may have been considerably later. [Au(adp)] |
