Abstract: |
Twenty evaluation trenches representing a 3% sample of the site were excavated on a standard north-south by east-west grid. Archaeological features were few, but a sub-rectangular pit was found in the centre of the site in Trench 15 that contained charcoal and small sherds of prehistoric pottery, and a 10m square was opened up around this to determine whether it was an isolated pit or part of a larger group. Four similar pits were found on an east-west alignment, the pits spaced just over 1m apart, and a further pit on the same alignment was found in a trench to the west. A gully running obliquely across the pit alignment was also exposed in Trench 15. Evaluation was followed immediately by further archaeological mitigation of the pit alignment and associated features in and around Trench 15 |
