Abstract: |
The report was commissioned in response to a proposal to erect four extensions to St. Thomas More RC High School. The early history and archaeology of the area was poorly documented. Antiquarian reports recorded the discovery of a cist burial with strong prehistoric parallels approximately 50m south of the proposed development. The landscape context of the site suggested the presence of further prehistoric features. There was no direct evidence for Roman or medieval activity on the site. The only archaeological features of interest in the vicinity of the site in the post-medieval period were the Billy Mill windmill, late 19th and early 20th century quarrying and a rifle range in Billy Mill Quarry, all of which had been destroyed by modern development. There was no suggestion in the historic record that there had been any development on the site other than the construction of the present school buildings. In the light of the possible presence of prehistoric funerary features some further archaeological work would be required. [Au(abr)] |
