| Abstract: |
Nineteen trial trenches were excavated as part of an archaeological evaluation due to an application for gravel extraction across the site. Major archaeological excavations conducted in the vicinity had revealed extensive occupation from the later prehistoric to the post medieval periods. The evaluation located a series of layers deriving from the post glacial to the post-medieval period. Although no archaeologically sensitive deposits were located, several waterlogged and coppiced pieces of wood and numerous fragments of brushwood were noted. Although the area had recently been utilised for pasture, the sterility of the deposits and the lack of artefacts indicated that settlement activity lay outside of the application area [AIP] |
