Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of historic map regression, geophysical survey, field artefact collection and trial excavation was undertaken in advance of the determination of planning permission for the development of the site. Despite their limited potential, the results obtained from fieldwalking were used, with the geophysical evidence, to determine the trial trenching strategy. 24 archaeological trenches were excavated across the site. Archaeological features included an early Iron Age ditched enclosure and occupation area. A small number of features containing Roman and Saxo-Norman pottery indicated that the settlement continued into this period. A number of medieval ditches were also recorded. [AIP] |
