Abstract: |
Evaluation by trial trenching A probable trackway, consisting of two parallel flanking ditches and an intermittent trampled hollow in the centre, was noted crossing the site on a northwest/south-easterly alignment (in trenches twenty-nine, thirty, thirty-two, thirty-nine and forty-five), with finds dating to the Late Bronze Age/Iron Age, and a curvilinear gully/ditch also seen in Trench thirty-two contained finds dating to the Iron Age. Part of an apparent rectilinear enclosure on the northern side of this trackway (in trenches thirty-four, thirty-eight and thirty-nine) appears to date to the Roman period. A small, possibly segmented, ditch was identified within Trenches fifteen and sixteen, but no dating evidence was recovered from this feature. The remaining possible features indicated by the geophysical survey data proved to be of natural geological origin, including solution hollows and geological erosion/infilling channels. |
