Abstract: |
The evaluation has identified a number of archaeological features throughout the proposed development area. Features of Late Neolithic date were encountered in three trenches. These comprised a large pit or hollow in Trench 10 and a pit/posthole in Trench 21. A pit/posthole of Late Neolithic date was also identified in Trench 12. Features of Neolithic/Early to /Middle Bronze Age date were confined to the north-eastern part of the site. These features comprised pits and/or postholes suggestive of occupation and a ditch probably representing part of a large enclosure or field boundary depicted by the earlier geophysical survey. Two pit/postholes of Bronze Age/Iron Age date were also identified. A number of undated features were also identified. Groups of pits/postholes were identified in Trenches 3, 6 and 12 and may be contemporary with Bronze Age/Iron Age, Late Neolithic and/or Neolithic/Early to Middle Bronze Age activity in the vicinity of these features. A number of features encountered in the southern and western parts of the site correlated with the preceding geophysical survey and comprised undated ditches probably relating to land management and/or division. |
