Abstract: |
An evaluation consisting of 25 machine dug trenches and two geoarchaeological test-pits was undertaken prior to the devlopment of the site as a nine-hole golf course. Although most trenches proved archaeologically sterile at least seven produced evidence of Late Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age settlement activity. This was primarliy in the form of pits, ditches and post-holes, many of which appeared to have been truncated. This prehistoric activity appeared to concentrate towards the southwest of the site. Three undated cremations were also located and it was possible that they were of Romano-British date. The geoarchaeological work revealed important deposits which probably related to the Middle Pleistocene. [Au] |
