| Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the re-routing of a drainage ditch and the grading of part of a development site, where an earlier evaluation had revealed a possible prehistoric gully. No archaeological remains were observed within the new drainage ditch. Examination of the graded area revealed no archaeological features, although several pieces of burnt flint were recovered, indicating that some prehistoric activity had taken place in the vicinity. The stripping did not remove all of the topsoil on parts of the site, and did not proceed to a depth where ancient features were likely to have occurred. It was concluded that the possibility of the gully having been an isolated feature could have been further clarified had the grading extended to a greater depth. [AIP] |
