Abstract: |
The evaluation established that the western (inner) bank of Salmonsbury had been extensively truncated in the area of the evaluation and possibly along the length of the site. None of the bank visibly survived on the site, having been cut away in the 19th-century when farm buildings were constructed against the western boundary. The evaluation also indicated that the eastern edge of the Iron Age bank was preserved immediately below the existing turf and tarmac. Therefore any ground intrusion in that area would damage archaeological deposits of national significance. The inner ditch of Salmonsbury was also found to be well preserved where it had not been built over in the recent past. Ground intrusions greater than 0.3 metres over the majority of the site would also damage archaeological deposits of national significance.[Au(abr)] |
