Abstract: |
An archaeological observation and recording exercise was undertaken on land to the east of Works Road. The exercise consisted of observation and recording of the topsoil stripping of the extension to Works Road, adjacent service trenches and areas designated for landscaping. It revealed a main concentration of archaeological features: a ring gully with a central crouched inhumation; a section of a 20 metre diameter ring ditch; a deep, lozenge shaped feature; and a cluster of pits around the main features. The features had not been closely dated but a struck flint assemblage suggested a Late Neolithic date. A truncated ditch of similar date and an isolated, undated posthole were also observed. In addition an isolated grave tentatively dated to the medieval period was recorded. [Au] |
