Abstract: |
Archaeological excavations conducted on land off Broach Road, Hensall at a proposed sand and gravel extraction quarry revealed evidence of transient Neolithic activity in the form of three pits. A series of ditches was also identified that formed land divisions and enclosures dating from the Late Iron Age and Romano-British period. A crop-drying kiln was also encountered. These features represent previously unknown activity, although cropmarks mapped to the east had raised the possibility of archaeological remains surviving in the area. |
