Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken as part of a planning condition on the construction of two houses. The site lay close to the historic centre of the village, which evolved as a manorial demesne during the late Anglo-Saxon and early medieval periods. Fardell's Lane was a probable route of considerable antiquity, and the study area may have been situated in an area once occupied by the medieval street front. Although there was some evidence from the locality for limited Roman and prehistoric activity, the potential for remains from periods prior to the Middle Ages was considerably unlikely. The evaluation, which consisted of the excavation of four trial trenches, revealed a number of archaeological features (almost all ditches), principally dating to the medieval period, though a single late Bronze Age/early Iron Age feature was also identified. Residual struck flint flakes were found in a number of the medieval deposits. [Au(adp)] |
