Abstract: |
Four trenches with a total length of 45m were opened, constituting a 5% sample of the development area. Archaeological features were found in two trenches, two other trenches contained features but these were thought to have been caused by relatively recent quarrying and dumping activities. The archaeological features consisted of ditches and pits. The only dating evidence to be recovered was pottery from a small pit in Trench 4, provisionally dated as Anglo-Saxon. The remainder of the finds comprised animal bones and daub fragments that were recovered from a small pit in Trench 4 and animal bones from a small ditch in Trench 2. [Au(abr)] |
