Abstract: |
The site for a water main at Butterfield Down lay within an area rich in extant and recorded archaeological sites, with prehistoric and Roman funerary sites less than 1km away to the east and south, and the prehistoric and Roman site of Butterfield Down 100 metres to the west. 200 metres of trench was excavated and a single large, undated ditch recorded. The dimensions and alignment of this ditch suggested that it may have been related to the Earl's Farm Down linear ditch, a substantial boundary or land division thought to be of later Bronze Age date.[Au(abr)] |
