Abstract: |
The site comprises c. 42ha of farmland, of which 14.6ha was selected for fieldwalking survey, based on the results of a community-based fieldwalking survey carried out in 2011. However, only four (c. 8 ha) of the seven fields designated for fieldwalking were available for the current survey due to arable or pasture surface cover. An apparent concentration of Mesolithic and Neolithic worked flint, comprising two retouched blades and a small assemblage of flint-working debitage, was recovered from the northern part of the site, in an area where similar material had been collected in 2011. Most of the finds collected by the survey, comprising sherds of 18th and 19th-century pottery, fragments of glass and clay pipe, were recovered from a field formerly known as 'Spring Meadow', in the central western part of the site. Medieval pottery and tile nd an architectural stone fragment of possible medieval date were collected from this field in 2011, leading to suggestions that it may have been the site of a medieval settlement. However, a geophysical survey of the site revealed no evidence for a medieval building or any other buildings or settlement in this area, so it seems likely that the finds, which include Roman, medieval, post-medieval and modern materials, were imported with soil dumped on the site from other locations which remains of these periods did occur. |
