Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during the laying of a replacement water main which passed close to several areas of archaeological interest. An area of dense cropmarks and earthworks thought to have formed components of a relict Romano-British landscape lay on the nearby Stoke Moor, whilst prehistoric and Romano-British material had been found in fields to the north and to the south of the pipeline. The course of a dismantled railway line passed to the north. During the watching brief, a shallow pit and the remains of a sheep burial were noted within a peat deposit, and the previous course of Honeyhurst Lane, visible as a hollow way at the surface, was revealed. The exposed road surface comprised compacted limestone cobbling with distinct rutting; no datable material was recovered from beneath the road surface. Artefacts recovered during the watching brief included a large quantity of prehistoric flint flakes, Romano-British pottery and roof tile, and a small number of medieval and post-medieval objects.
