Abstract: |
Rapid recording work was undertaken following notification of the discovery of large flint cobbles, marine shells and ancient looking pottery, in the spoil heaps associated with a new water pipe across the Scout's camp. Four features were recorded; notably a large ditch and a shallow pit containing numerous Roman sherds. The site possibly represents a previously unknown Roman settlement site or native farmstead and evidence of the exploitation of the sea-shore was found. A scatter of Neolithic/Bronze Age struck flints were also recovered. [AIP] |
