Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation was carried out in advance of a planning application for residential development of the site. A preceding geophysical survey had detected two possible archaeological anomalies; a linear ditch and an extensive anomaly interpreted to be a possible oval enclosure ditch. Four evaluation trenches were excavated, two of which were found to contain archaeological remains. The archaeological remains, located in Trenches 3 and 4, consisted of pits and a ditch of earliest/Early Iron Age date (c.800-500BC). Both possible archaeological anomalies were demonstrated to be of wholly natural origin. |
