Abstract: |
The field artefact collection survey was part of a scheme of archaeological works aiming to establish the archaeological potential of the site. The total study area covered 70ha. The south-western part of this area (c.10ha in extent) was deemed unsuitable for artefact collection due to it being in pastoral use. A further 2ha of the study area, located to the north of Oakley Grange, had not been ploughed at the time of the survey and would need to be examined at a later date. Two main areas of archaeological interest were identified. The first was focused on a plateau towards the middle of the survey area where a scatter of flint tools, waste flakes and occasional pieces of burnt flint, all of prehistoric date, were noted. The second area was located on the western edge of the site and consisted of a dispersed scatter of medieval pottery. [Au(abr)] |
