Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation was undertaken in advance of mineral extraction. The earliest recognisable activity within the site dated to the Earlier Neolithic and was represented by a cluster of pits and gullies. Middle Bronze Age occupation remains were also identified. Features recorded included a ditched linear boundary, an adjacent sub-circular enclosure with internal features and a linear arrangement of paired ditch segments. A spread of heat-crazed stone, found in association with a series of charcoal-rich pits, may have represented debris from a domestic cooking site alongside a steam channel. Limited evidence of post-Bronze Age activity was encountered. A few sherds of Iron Age and Romano-British pottery, recovered in association with pits and gullies, highlighted limited activity of these periods in the site vicinity. Extensive post-medieval and modern activity was noted in the form of agricultural boundaries, rubbish pits and quarry features. [Au(abr)] |
