| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed mineral extraction site. Eleven of the twenty-seven trial trenches excavated contained features of archaeological interest; the majority of these and several further trenches contained unstratified finds. Features included ditches, pits and post-holes, most of which contained sherds of prehistoric pottery and/or struck flints, and part of a gully which contained only two pieces of burnt flint. Several pieces of perforated clay slab, an artefact usually indicative of Late Bronze Age contexts, were recovered. A shallow hollow, apparently of relatively recent origin, contained several pieces of medieval or later roof tile, a fragment of post-medieval brick, a fragment from an iron object and a residual sherd of Roman pottery. Recent discoveries made in the surrounding area suggested that the prehistoric features represented part of a significant spread of Bronze Age occupation material. It was recommended that further excavation should be carried out in the vicinity of four trenches where significant features had been revealed, and that a watching brief should be carried out during soil stripping elsewhere, across the entire site.
