Abstract: |
The evaluation produced a low level of finds dating from the Neolithic/Bronze Age, Roman, medieval and post-medieval periods. Datable structural remains were very poorly represented, and other than modern drainage, features, they comprised a small truncated feature of later Neolithic date, and field boundaries in use in the post-medieval period. A small number of other features remained undated. In addition, the discovery of a feature associated with later Neolithic/Early Bronze Age pottery was of significance, as in situ remains and finds of this period were rare in the region. However, this was an isolated feature, and so any occupation activity of this period within the proposed development area was at a very low level. The Roman, medieval and post-medieval finds were not associated with any traces of occupation at these times, and they were likely to have been generally the result of agricultural activity. [Au] |
