Abstract:
A geophysical survey of the site had identified a number of anomalies representing potential archaeological features. These comprised linear, rectilinear and discrete features, interpreted as being associated with medieval and post-Enclosure agricultural use of the land. This evidence was supported by historic mapping, which showed former field boundaries corresponding with some of these anomalies. The evaluation identified a localised area of archaeological remains of probable Roman date in the south-eastern part of the site, comprising a ditch, probably a former field boundary, and two small pits, the fills of which contained burnt bone, suggesting that they may be cremation burials. The redeposited and fragmented remains of part of a human skeleton in a post-Enclosure field boundary ditch nearby suggest that there may be other burials in the immediate vicinity, although no evidence for any further burials or significant archaeological activity was identified elsewhere within the site. Medieval plough furrows were encountered in trenches across the site and other features comprised former post-Enclosure field boundaries and an area that had been used in the post-medieval period for gravel extraction.
