Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, carried out in advance of the resurfacing of Norton Village Hall car park identified a post-medieval soil layer below the modern deposits, which in turn sealed a single large ditch. Although undated the ditch appears to pre-date the 1841 tithe map and may be marking the rear of a series of smaller roadside fields or plots of post-medieval or possibly earlier date. The lack of any finds material in the ditch, and the results of environmental sampling, suggest however that the ditch does not lie in immediate proximity to any former settlement. While preservation of the archaeological horizon is good any deposits are likely to be of minor importance and sealed at depth below the likely extent of the proposed development's groundworks. The development therefore is unlikely to have any further or significant impact upon archaeological heritage assets. |
