Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out within part of an area proposed for gravel extraction. Major sites of prehistoric, Roman and medieval date had been recorded to the south and east of the site, although trial trenching of part of the proposal area which lay to the east had produced largely negative results. During the evaluation, evidence indicative of ancient activity and occupation was revealed within a large number of the excavated trenches. Where features were sampled, the artefactual evidence recovered suggested that they were principally of Iron Age date. The features included ring gullies characteristic of prehistoric roundhouses, together with a variety of ditches and pits indicative of ancient settlement. Some early Roman material was also recovered, and a number of undated features were recorded. It was recommended that the area of archaeological interest should be either preserved in situ or excavated, and that a watching brief should be carried out during extraction work within the remaining part of the proposal site.
