| Abstract: |
Thirteen trenches were excavated and metal detecting was carried out in an evaluation on the proposed line on a relief road crossing a known Anglo-Saxon cemetery. The cemetery was partially excavated in the 1920s and has suffered much looting since c.1980. The evaluation has defined the limits of the cemetery and the robbing activity. Seven graves (possibly nine) were identified most within the area of robbing. Although the looting has been intensive, sample excavation revealed that some grave edges could be determined and human bone and some finds survived in the backfill. A few medieval features and finds were also recovered. Objects of bronze, copper alloy, iron, glass and clay were retrieved, dating from the Roman, Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods.
