Abstract:

<summary>110 evaluation trenches and 24 boreholes were excavated in advance of the road scheme. No sites were known to exist along the line of the road itself, although the general area was fairly rich in archaeology. One ancient occupation site with features {italon}in situ{italoff} was located; this was excavated in a later phase of the project. Two or three other possible settlement sites were indicated; these were either sites just off the route, probably on higher ground, or sites that may have been totally ploughed out. Probable medieval or post-medieval field boundaries were located. Finds of prehistoric to Roman date were recovered and these may relate to a palimpsest settlement or settlements, perhaps commencing during the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age transition and continuing until the mid-3rd century. {italon}Sec(abr)(5){italoff}
