Abstract: |
Following an OA North (2006) DBA and walkover survey OA North was commissioned by Mr Wigglesworth to undertake an archaeological investigation at Dover Lodge Farm, , in order to fulfil a planning condition. In March 2007 OA North undertook a programme of trial-trench evaluation and a metal detecting survey. The projected line of the Kirkham to Fleetwood Roman road was examined by Trench 1 and the metal detecting survey. Despite previous finds, the latter technique produced no significant results. No structural evidence for the Roman Road was identified, however, it is possible that part of an agger may be preserved by a pebble and clay field boundary here, or, that the very stony topsoil here represents the ploughed-out remains of an agger that had once run across the underlying peat beds supported on a bed of lain timbers. Pit Carr, recorded on the 1838 tithe award was examined by Trench 2, no remains of archaeological significance were discovered. Within Trench 3 in Kiln Field (also on the 1838 tithe award) were located the heavily truncated remains of a probable kiln, possibly even that for which the field was named, along with some undated small pits, or postholes. The archaeological findings in Trench 3 were of some significance, but are not threatened by the development of the golf course, and it is difficult to justify further investigation at this juncture. However, their presence should be considered during the formulation of planning conditions for any further developments on the site. |
