Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed building development on land at Main Street, Stow-Cum-Quy. The work was designed to assist in defining the character and extent of any archaeological remains within the proposed redevelopment area. Archaeological remains of considerable importance were recorded in Trench 1, to the south of the site. These consisted of stratified deposits of Prehistoric flint and pottery, dated to the Mesolithic and Neolithic periods that were preserved in the depression at the top of a natural solution hollow. A large number of worked flint pieces were recovered from these contexts, including a Neolithic leaf shaped arrowhead. Struck flints were also recovered from the primary fill of a treethrow further to the east of this trench and several unstratified flints were also uncovered from the remaining trenches. |
