Abstract: |
An intrusive evaluation was undertaken on land at Colt Park, Aldingham as part of a planning condition for a 9.5 hectare development scheme. Sixteen trenches were excavated throughout the development area exposing a network of field drains. The only significant discovery was a burnt mound located near the base of a small wide valley that runs north to south through the area. The burnt mound was sub-oval in plan and measured 13.5 by 16.5 m. A test pit was cut through the middle of the mound to retrieve dating material and to establish the depth of the deposits. The mound was relatively shallow, only 0.15 m deep and comprised fairly small fire cracked stones in a matrix of black soil. Having recorded the extent of the mound, the site was backfilled. Radiocarbon dating produced a Middle Bronze Age date of 3090±30 BP (OxCal3). |
