Abstract:
Fifty-four trenches containing sixty-three features were excavated at the northern end of the Proposed Development Area. The archaeological horizon across the northern end of the PDA appears to be dominated by moderately sized pits with u-shaped profiles, many of which contained Iron Age pottery.Two large pits (0169 and 0162) were recorded towards the eastern part of the site. One produced early prehistoric evidence including a petit-tranchet derivative (transverse) arrowhead with a chisel point typical of the Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age period. The other contained small amounts of hard-fired Roman pottery. Sixty-six trenches were excavated across the southern end of the PDA. The evaluation trenches identified forty-five features concentrated towards the north-east corner of the area with a lower density of features towards the southern end. These indicated Roman and Iron Age activity on the higher point of the site, over the Lark Valley. The archaeological horizon consisted predominantly of ditches but also included moderate to small sized pits, a single Bronze Age urned cremation and a large irregular shaped feature that was concluded to have been a natural hollow. The ditches generally corresponded to a north-north-east to south-south-west alignment following the natural incline. Amongst the ditches two in particular are worthy of note and may represent a drove-way.
