| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which had been identified by desk-based assessment as being of moderate to high archaeological potential. Large pits and a well of late 19th or early 20th century origin were revealed, and two intercutting ditches which produced a sherd of late Roman pottery and a fragment of probable Roman brick or tile were recorded. The position and orientation of the ditches suggested that they most probably represented a continuation of two similar intercutting ditches found during excavation at a nearby site. A fragment of prehistoric pottery, probably dating from the Bronze Age, and a fragment of Roman tile were recovered from the third of the three trial trenches excavated, and two features which were likely to have been ditches were recorded. One contained two sherds of medieval pottery and two residual finds of prehistoric and Roman origin. It was concluded that the features excavated were of limited significance, as they were ditches rather than occupation features. However, it was noted that some further archaeological involvement with the redevelopment would probably be required. [AIP] |
