Abstract:
A programme of archaeological evaluation was undertaken by Border Archaeology at Milton Farm in Pembridge. The site is located immediately N of the Torvale Industrial Estate, within the floodplain of the River Arrow, a rich multi-period landscape of high archaeological sensitivity, with significant evidence for prehistoric occupation and funerary activity, Romano-British and medieval settlement. It also lies within the former boundaries of Shobdon Airfield, established in 1940 and extended in 1941-2. During the course of the work five trenches were excavated to the natural gravel. No features of archaeological significance were revealed during the evaluation. It was apparent that the site had been intensively cultivated in the modern period with plough furrows visible in natural silting deposits. The only finds were two small flint flakes recovered from the natural interface in Trenches 1 and 5. The lack of finds of later date could suggest that the site was cleared following abandonment of the airfield by the RAF following the Second World War.
