Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of development of the land as housing. A total of 14 evaluation trenches measuring 50m x 1.8m were excavated across the site. The work revealed a number of linear features, pits and a post hole across all but two of the trenches, with the main thrust of activity present in the southern half of the site. The majority of the archaeological features were prehistoric, with the exception of a known post-medieval field boundary, and the linear features followed a general alignment of NNW-SSE or WSW-ENE, suggesting a pattern of fields with drainage ditches and boundaries. An exception to this was a pair of parallel gullies which may delimit a droveway or track, possibly of a different period. Pits of uncertain function were scattered across the area. |
