Abstract: |
The results of fieldwalking suggest that the site has low archaeological significance. The site appears to have had a long history of cultivation and could be best interpreted as being 'space between settlement'. During the site visit a series of infield earthwork house platforms and other settlement features, including a network of trackways, were observed, in the field directly to the west of the site. These earthworks, have been recorded by SWAG, (WSM35386, currently unavailable in report form) and are potentially medieval in date. Fieldwalking recorded no conclusive evidence of settlement and therefore it is suggested that the site was in the hinterland rather than at the focus of settlement. Any subsidiary archaeological remains, that may have, at one point, existed, on the site, are likely to have been destroyed by a long history of cultivation. |
