Abstract: |
Although the earthmoving works associated with the flood alleviation scheme were extensive the majority of the work was not particularly intrusive. Across the majority of the site the material removed was mostly topsoil and the natural substrate was not observed. Romano-British activity was, however, identified in the north of the site comprising a ditch and a pit, with a further undated ditch and pit in the same area. An undated ditch and pit were recorded in the east of the site. Elsewhere archaeological evidence was limited to showing that the existing churchyard wall had been built upon an earlier, probably post-medieval, wall footing. Limestone edging blocks recorded adjacent to the road close to St Mary's churchyard represent an earlier footpath below the current footpath. |
