Abstract: |
An initial phase of evaluation examined the areas of archaeological features during the non-intrusive surveys, and also the area of greatest archaeological potential (the intersection between the peat and higher ground). The current evaluation (phase Ib) comprised seventy trenches and revealed just two ditches suggesting that the non-intrusive surveys identified the principal areas of archaeology within the development area. Similarly the trial trenching indicated that there was a lack of deep, masking deposits such as peat and alluvium, suggesting that the non-intrusive surveys, in particular the aerial photographic assessment and geophysical surveys were uninhabited. Trenches 52 and 54 each revealed a single ditch. Neither contained finds. [Au(abr)] |
