Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development, which probably lay within the former open fields of the medieval village of Wolston. Cropmarks in the vicinity represented prehistoric enclosures, and a Bronze Age cemetery had been recorded to the south-east. A possible enclosure lay on the site itself. During the evaluation, a Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pit was revealed, a thin scatter of Romano-British artefacts was found and the remains of a medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow field system were recorded. A geophysical survey revealed linear anomalies and a possible pit. It was concluded that the remains of the field system were too poorly preserved to represent a constraint on development.
