| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a quarry extension, a small part of which was overlain by medieval ridge and furrow. Palaeolithic tools had been found at an adjacent quarry, during research into the site of an ancient river channel. Mesolithic and Neolithic artefacts and occupation dating from the Bronze Age and later had also been recorded in the area. During the evaluation, a Late Iron Age/early Roman gully containing pottery was revealed, and possible traces of ridge and furrow were identified. A fragment of worked flint was recovered from the surface of the field. It was concluded that work in the proposal area would be unlikely to affect the nearby Palaeolithic river channel, but that the possibility of encountering such a feature could not be ruled out.
