Abstract: |
A total of fourteen 30m long by 1.8m wide trenches were excavated equating to 702m2 (approximately 3% of the PDA).
All overburden (topsoil and subsoil) was removed using a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless ditching bucket to either the first identified archaeological horizon or the natural substrate, whichever was reached first.
Stripping was undertaken under the continuous supervision and control of the attending archaeologist in accordance with the methodologies laid out in the written scheme of investigation (Network Archaeology 2021b). The archaeology was exposed at c.0.35 meters below the topsoil and was located in the northeast corner of the PDA. The remaining trenches were devoid of archaeology. The evaluation identified a total of eight archaeological features in trenches 2, 3, 5 and 6, they were interpreted as agricultural activity, part of a rural landscape through the Roman, Middle Saxon, Medieval and Modern periods.
Trench 2 exposed two ditches, one ditch dated to the Middle Saxon period and one undated. Trench 3 Also revealed two ditches, one Roman and one undated. Trench 5 contained two ditches, one Medieval and one Modern field boundary. Finally, Trench 6 revealed one Middle Saxon ditch as well as one undated ditch.The works did not identify any definite settlement related activity, the ditches likely associated with agricultural activity away from any focus of settlement activity. |
