| Abstract: |
Evaluations were carried out at several sites with an archaeological potential, along the route of a motorway proposed for widening. At Site A, a sherd of Romano-British pottery and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flints were recovered. No remains were observed at Site B. At Site E, which formed part of a larger complex of features, part of a ring ditch, an associated cremation and further features were investigated. At Site F, Romano-British and Iron Age pits, ditches and other features were recorded. Saxon pottery and possible Saxon features were also present. An undated ditch and gully were observed at Site G, whilst evidence of woodland clearance, probably of medieval date, was found at Site H, where medieval pottery and a fragment of a Neolithic axe were also found. An extensive Late Iron Age/Romano-British site, and evidence of earlier prehistoric and medieval activity, were identified at Site I. A disused pond was found at Site J. At Site K, an undated cemetery was discovered and earthworks likely to have resulted from small-scale quarrying were recorded. The possible route of a Roman road crossed Site N, but no archaeological deposits were found during evaluation. The impact of road construction on each of the sites evaluated was assessed in the light of the information obtained. [AIP] |
