Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation, comprising 21 trenches was carried out by AC archaeology during February and March 2011. Archaeological features and deposits were present and were mainly located at the southeast end of the site. Elsewhere, generally negative results were recorded or post-medieval/modern features were present. A deep series of soil deposits was recorded towards the southeast end of the site, with these formed in a relatively low-lying area and comprising buried soil layers sealed by thick colluvium and ploughsoil. A moderate assemblage of worked flint/chert including cores and waste flakes, as well as three sherds of Bronze Age pottery was recovered from the primary layers. Two early former boundary ditches were recorded close to this area, with these potentially dating to at any time from the later prehistoric through to the medieval period. A notable quantity of worked flint/chert was recovered from the ploughsoil throughout the site. |
