| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay adjacent to the site of a Bronze Age settlement, excavated in 1990-91. Evidence of Romano-British occupation had been recorded 200m to the west, and three further prehistoric sites had been found in the surrounding area. During the evaluation, soil layers, ditches, post holes and small pits consistent with those revealed by the adjacent excavation were recorded. The artefactual assemblage, which included pottery, flint, calcified bone and fragmented sandstone, was recovered from only a small number of features, but was characteristic of Bronze Age activity in the region. The absence of Romano-British and medieval finds suggested that those features which did not produce any dating evidence were also likely to have originated in the prehistoric period. It was recommended that further excavation and recording should be undertaken in advance of any development. [Au(adp)] |
