Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was carried out in advance of a housing development. A previous evaluation in 2003 identified medieval ditches which suggested that the site contained a high density of medieval archaeology with the potential for settlement remains. The 2004 excavation revealed two medieval ditches, previously recorded in 2003. In addition a number of apparently natural features which contained quantities of worked flint dating to the Mesolithic period were recorded. One of the more significant finds was a Portland Pick, a flint tool characteristic of the Mesolithic period in Dorset. [Au(adp)] |
