Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of the expansion of an existing quarry. Earthworks of up to four low linear mounds, possibly artificial rabbit warrens (known as pillow mounds) of medieval or later date, had been recorded here. Preceding archaeological Desk-Based Assessment and topographic survey confirmed the presence of the mound-like linear earthwork features within the site. The four linear mounds were demonstrated to be characteristic of the storage of modern (late 19th- to 20th-century) quarry spoil and not to constitute remains of medieval or later pillow mounds. No pre-modern archaeological remains were encountered elsewhere in the site. |
