| Abstract: |
An archaeological desk-based assessment was undertaken prior to residential development of former allotments. The present study showed that the area lay within a rich archaeological landscape, being surrounded by sites of Roman and Saxon date. Although no finds were known from the subject site itself, its archaeological potential was considered moderate to high, with particular reference to the evidence for Roman rural activity and Saxon burial practices. Although the land had been cultivated as allotments since 1896, the development site did not appear to have been affected by modern development or disturbance. The state of preservation of any archaeological remains and deposits that may be encountered during excavation was likely to be good. [Au(abr)] |
