Abstract: |
AOC Archaeology Group was commissioned by Kirkwood Holmes Ltd and Ashfield Land to undertake an archaeological top-soil strip and excavation on agricultural land at Blackdog. The archaeological works sought to ascertain the extent, nature and identity of remains discovered during an earlier evaluation where a number of prehistoric features were discovered. The top-soil strip involved the opening of two 50 m by 50 m areas centred on the features previously discovered. The top-soil strip revealed a ring-ditch enclosure along with a number of post-holes indicative of two different phases of roundhouse construction, in addition to a selection of undated pit. A number of flint and pottery fragments were retrieved during the excavation of these features. A number of pits medieval or possibly post-medieval were also discovered within the area containing pottery fragments. A programme of post-excavation analyses will be required on the material recovered from the site. |
