Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation has revealed the presence of three undated linear features in Trenches 3 and 5. The two features present in Trench 3 were similar in appearance and orientation to each other and were located less than 0.7m apart. Given the similarities, it is considered that these two linears are likely to be contemporary rather than representing the migration or realignment of a boundary. The feature in Trench 5 had the appearance of a former hedgerow. No clear evidence was identified to suggest that archaeologically significant features previously identified in the vicinity extended within the site area. No charcoal was present within any of the excavated layers. This would suggest that the study area was a distance away from any settlement activity and that the identified linear features most likely represent land division or agricultural activity. |
