Abstract: |
The excavation of a cable trench across a Scheduled Ancient Monument ('The Black Ditches' a bank and ditch feature) was recorded archaeologically. None of the material removed on the line of the bank could be positively identified as either bank make up or pre-bank topsoil. Furthermore, the spoil from the ditch obviously related to the relatively recent silting up of the feature as organic material was incorporated within it. One piece of archaeologically significant information was recorded, the weathered character of the gently sloping natural sand surface on the eastern side of the ditch suggested that a berm had originally been present between the bank and ditch. No dating evidence was recovered from the trench. [Au] |
