Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated across the proposed development area. Trench 1 contained two curvilinear gullies, both contained animal bone, and a sherd of 2nd to 4th century Roman pottery was recovered from one. At the south-east end of trench 1 lay a ditch, the fill of which contained 14 sherds of relatively unabraded mid to late Iron Age pottery and some animal bone. All three features were sealed by topsoil and modern material up to 2m deep. The depth of the disturbance represented by this material may have suggested that truncation of the archaeological features took place. No archaeological remains were revealed in trenches 2 and 3, which lay upslope of trench 1. The evaluation indicated that late prehistoric, and possibly Roman, archaeological features survived in the north-western half of the proposed development. [Au(abr)] |
