Abstract: |
Further to previous geophysical survey and trial trenching, an archaeological excavation identified a system of Iron Age ditches, pits, gullies and postholes although no structures were clearly identifiable. A north-south aligned ditch of Roman date, medieval ridge and furrow also running north-south and post medieval quarrying were also recorded during the excavation. A wide range of flint implements were retrieved from the site, the majority of which dated to the Mesolithic, although a number of Iron Age lithic implements were found alongside contemporary pottery. Post medieval material was also found in the manner of clay pipes, glass, brick/tile, metalwork and animal bone. Environmental sampling was undertaken during the excavation. |
