Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation of a proposed housing development site took the form of two machine-excavated trenches. These revealed a series of intercutting ditches, gullies and pits, some of which had been sealed by a flood-derived deposit. One ditch had been recut at least twice, the latest recut being in part filled by a charcoal-rich horizon containing a significant quantity of Late Iron Age pottery, and calcined animal bone, a triangular weight and other cultural material. The pit discovered also yielded Late Iron Age pottery. Trench 2 also revealed a number of shallow, parallel gullies of post-medieval date, and a series of modern yard levels, including amongst them the brick rubble from what was presumed to have been a recent farm building. The archaeological discoveries made in both trenches strongly suggested the presence of a Late Iron Age settlement in the close vicinity, whilst the sealing of many of them with alluvium indicated the possibility of high quality preservation of any other archaeological features present on the site.
