Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay c. 100m from a Saxon cemetery. Prehistoric, Roman and medieval artefacts had been found in the surrounding area. During the evaluation a number of features were recorded, including two gullies, two ditches and two other features which contained no dating evidence, a possible post hole, and a gully from which a sherd of medieval pottery was recovered. A low boundary bank lay on the southern side of the latter gully; these two features appeared to have been associated with the boundary of a former plot known as 'Chapel Grove', observed on the Tithe map of 1843. Artefacts recovered during the evaluation included prehistoric flint flakes, a sherd of Late Saxon pottery and a probable Bronze Age potsherd. It was recommended that a watching brief should be undertaken during any development of the site. [AIP] |
