Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a site proposed for opencast coal extraction. Earlier desk-based research had indicated prehistoric, Roman and medieval use of the landscape, and previously unrecorded ridge and furrow had been found during a walkover survey of the site. A Roman road, Ryknield Street, may have crossed the proposal area, and a layer of stone recently observed in the bank of the River Rother had been interpreted as part of the road. Five evaluation trenches were excavated, one of which was positioned to investigate a geophysical anomaly. No archaeological features or artefacts were encountered; the layer of stone was examined by an environmental archaeologist, and was shown to be a glacial till rather than a man-made feature. [AIP] |
