Abstract: |
Prior to the submission of a planning application for an extension to Brenkley Additional Surface Mine, Banks Mining commissioned a programme of archaeological trial trenching. The trial trenching targeted features previously identified through geophysical survey, however none were seen to be archaeological in origin. A single ditch in the north-east of the site was recorded during the evaluation, but was not picked up during the geophysical survey. No dating evidence was recovered from the feature but it is thought to be late Iron Age in date, relating to a probable Iron Age settlement immediately to the north. Extensive evidence of the upstanding remains of medieval ridge and furrow was seen in all trenches and across the whole field. |
