| Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological investigation incorporating a desk-based assessment and trial trench evaluation was undertaken. The desk-based assessment demonstrated that the site was situated to the south west of the parish church and had the potential to contain the residual remains of prehistoric, Roman and medieval activity. Perhaps more likely was the site's potential for Saxon remains. Cartographic evidence that archaeological remains were likely to have been undisturbed. This evidence (in the form of two ditches - one likely a boundary feature with the same alignment as that observed at No. 12), was indicative of somewhat sparse domestic and/or agricultural activity on the periphery of the main settlement focus. The evaluation also revealed a substantial area of modern disturbance in the north eastern area of the site. [Au(abr)] |
