Abstract: |
11 trial trenches were excavated as part of the planning permission prior to the construction of a petrol station and convenience stores. The works comprised the excavation of eleven trenches, measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide. The trenches revealed very little of archaeological interest, with only three trenches containing potential archaeological features.
A number of irregular features in Trench 2 were interpreted as probably representing natural processes of bioturbation. An undated pit of unclear function was recorded in Trench 9, and a recut ditch in Trench 11 is likely to represent a former woodland boundary shown on 19th century mapping. No artefactual material was recovered from any of the excavated features, and overall, the results of the evaluation demonstrated a negligible archaeological potential for the proposed
development area. |
