Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd carried out a single phase of excavation between the 13th and 16th of September 2021, following on from a previous phase of evaluation over the wider site area, carried out earlier in 2021.The work was commissioned by RPS Group, on behalf of their client, Hopkins Homes Ltd. The excavation was targeted on Trench 57 of the evaluation, which contained a possible prehistoric or Roman enclosure ditch. The excavation uncovered this ditch, as well as segments of other, complementary ditches on a similar alignment. Aside from the previously identified ditch, all the features had been heavily truncated and as a result were very shallow. Finds assemblages recovered were also extremely limited. As a result, the ditches probably represent the remains of a Late Bronze Age to Early Iron Age field system, of a similar character to that identified across parts of the wider site in the evaluation. |
