Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising a desktop study, fieldwalking and geophysical survey was undertaken on land to the east of the present quarry. Previous archaeological work had identified the area as being of high archaeological potential with the majority of finds and site types being from the later prehistoric period, although finds of Roman, medieval and post-medieval date had also been recorded. The geophysical survey identified anomalous areas which were to be sample excavated at a later date; fieldwalking collected a large assemblage of prehistoric flint tools and pottery and Roman, medieval and post-medieval pottery. The desktop study identified those areas which displayed the most archaeological potential, with aerial photogrpahs and records of previous investigative work being utilised. |
