Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken in advance of proposed mineral extraction. The assessment revealed the presence of multi-period archaeological remains in the vicinity of the study area. These had been recorded during various phases of casual and more formal artefact collection, by metal detector surveys and also by archaeological field projects. Finds and archaeological features recorded dated to the prehistoric, Romano-British, Saxon and medieval periods. An archaeological excavation within a quarry area immediately adjacent to the west of the area of the current proposals in the late 1970s revealed evidence of occupation of the first millennium BC. Further Iron Age pits were recorded in 1984 in the eastern face of the quarry, suggesting that features likely continued into the area of proposed extraction. An aerial photograph held by SCC AS suggested that cropmarks of archaeological features extended slightly into the area of proposed development. [Au(abr)] |
