Abstract: |
This report records the results of trial trench evaluation and non-intrusive investigation carried out as a preliminary to preparation of a Scheme of Archaeological Resource Management. Although, prior to excavation, there were no recorded finds from the evaluation area itself, the surrounding landscape is rich in archaeological remains dating from the Neolithic onwards. The aim of the evaluation was to provide information on any archaeological features or deposits that were present. This was achieved through : a review of existing archaeological and cartographic evidence, geophysical survey (magnetic survey scanning of the entire application area, followed by a detailed survey of up to 40% of the evaluation area); trial trench excavation. The land was unsuitable for fieldwalking. The archaeological evaluation area indicateds that the evaluation area had been a predominantly arable since the medieval period and that the land parcel environment. Out of thirty-three archaeological trenches investigated only a single, isolated, archaeological feature was noted. This was a pit probably dating to the Iron Age. |
