Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an industrial development. An aerial photographic assessment had revealed the presence of cropmarks at the site, which represented a series of enclosures. During the evaluation, a Christian inhumation cemetery dating from the 6th-10th centuries was recorded. Prehistoric and early medieval ditches were also found, some of which related to the cropmarks. Mesolithic struck flints were recovered during rapid fieldwalking of the site. Other finds included a sherd of Roman pottery, and medieval and post-medieval tile. Further Saxon features, including a pit, were present at the southern periphery of the site, suggesting that an area of occupation may have lain outside the proposed development area. [Au(adp)] |
