Abstract: |
Monitoring and recording was undertaken during the removal of a hedgebank (Fig. 1) during the construction of an agricultural building. The work consisted of machine excavation, under archaeological control, to expose a cross-section of the bank. This was then cleaned, investigated and recorded. The hedgebank appears on 19th century historic mapping and may therefore have been medieval or early post-medieval in origin. The hedgebank is aligned NW-SE and forms part of the eastern boundary to the existing farm yard. To the NE the ground slopes down towards the bank and immediately to the SW of the bank is a levelled concrete yard. The bank was of a simple construction with no evidence of a preserved buried soil beneath. No deposits of archaeological significance were found and no dating evidence recovered. |
