Abstract: |
The evaluation, which was to consist of a walkover survey and a trial trench located in a suspected saltern (NHER site 21295), actually consisted of just the walkover survey. Anedoctal evidence from local landowners suggested that the feature was not of archaeological interest and had been removed ten years previously. Several previously unrecorded earthworks were, however, identified. A linear feature situated adjacent to a relict channel was interpreted as being a levee that probably began to form whilst the area was still submerged and part of an estuary, then exposed in the Saxon period. Three subrectangular earthworks superimposed on the levee were interpreted as being the remains of structures. Lack of artefactual evidence means that they could not be dated. [Au(adp)] |
