Abstract: |
The evaluation, consisting of trial trenching, was undertaken prior to the proposed redevelopment of the site. Modern disturbance had probably removed all or most of the in situ archaeology beyond about 20 metres from the frontage but a strip of intact natural brickearth overlay natural gravel nearer the road. Two linear features were identified here. The smaller may have been a robber trench and yielded scraps of Roman material and a sherd of probably early medieval pottery. The larger contained a few struck flints and a little Bronze Age or Iron Age pottery, the upper a sherd of 'Belgic' pottery. This cut may have been a clay quarry, defensive ditch or part of a ring-ditch around a burial mound. [Au(abr)] |
