Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation was originally designed around a 7.5% trenching sample of Areas A and B (36,150 m²). However, Area B (16,950 m²) was unavailable for evaluation at this time. This led to only Area A (19,200 m²) being evaluated. A trenching sample of 720 linear metres was undertaken. A comprehensive metal detecting survey was also undertaken over Area A. No archaeologically significant finds or features were encountered, although there was evidence of recent activity in the form of rubble and ceramic field drains. A number of stone-holes were also investigated. The metal detecting survey retrieved few artefacts, and these consisted of modern material associated with farming activity. A single corroded copper coin of Early Victorian date was also recovered. |
