Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation comprised the excavation and recording of nine trenches within the proposed development area. Archaeological features were present in Trenches 1, 3, 4, 6 and 7. The evaluation identified the presence of a series of ditches of unknown date. Two shallow gullies and a shallow linear feature, all orientated north-south, were identified in Trench 1, and a similar north-south shallow linear feature was identified in Trench 3. Two parallel north-south ditches identified in Trench 4 were on a similar alignment with two very similar ditches in Trench 7 and as such were most likely a continuation of the same features. The presence of re-cuts in the ditch in Trench 4 and 7 would suggest more than one period of activity within the site. In Trench 6, two further parallel north-south shallow linear features were identified, these were on a similar alignment to the features in Trenches 4 and 7, but had a slightly different appearance and did not contain any evidence for re-cuts or secondary fills. There was no evidence for any significant clusters of features, all features identified consisted of north-south orientated ditches/gullies, with a complete lack of charcoal in any of the fills. It is therefore most likely that the on-site remains represent former agricultural activity, which occurred on the periphery of any settlement focus.
