Abstract: |
A field evaluation was conducted in January 2014. The excavation of an evaluation trench revealed no archaeological deposits, structures or stray artefacts barring modern domestic waste in the topsoil. The initial study of the historic background and land use of the site suggests that it was part of Broomhaugh Wood until at least 1896 and cleared in the 20th century for use as an allotment garden. In recent years, the land has also been used by the neighbouring properties as a dumping ground for domestic material such as ash from log burners and general garden waste. Nearby garden finds of potential Romano-British pottery and worked flint may suggest human activity directly north of the site, though there is no evidence to suggest that it lies within the current development area. There is no historic evidence for human activity barring garden and allotment use within the development area, and as such the development is highly unlikely to impact on any historic or archaeological assets. |
