Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out from 2-10 December 2015. 29 trenches totalling 5000 linear metres were excavated with a 14 ton tracked machine and 2m ditching bucket totalling 5% of the total proposed development area. 997 flints were collected from two fields and in topsoil in the 29 trenches over the area of the proposed development. They include bipolar and platform cores and possible scraper (Torben Ballin pers comm). No features were identified and with the shallow topsoil and extensive damage from agricultural practices it is unlikely that shallow features will survive on this site. |
