Abstract: |
Trial excavation confirmed that a possible field system identified through geophysical survey comprised a series of droves and closes of Roman date. The remains were confined to the high ground in the north west of the proposed development site and were composed of ditches cut into the underlying sandy gravel. Other anomalies noted in the same area by geophysics related to quarry pits and post-medieval field boundaries. There was no positive indication of settlement related remains, very small sherd counts for each features being seen as characteristics of a peripheral location. [Au] |
