Abstract: |
Seventeen trial trenches, most measuring 30 m in length and 2.2 m wide (two were shortened), were excavated in level spits using a 360º excavator equipped with a toothless bucket, under the constant supervision and instruction of the monitoring archaeologist. Five of the seventeen excavated trial trenches contained archaeological features and deposits, indicating archaeological remains are present across the site. The uncovered features consist of four ditches and a probable hedge or hedgerow. All were undated. The heavy tree cover and its subsequent removal have affected the integrity of the archaeological horizon, but the features uncovered show that archaeology has survived. The earliest Ordnance Survey map of the area, in 1870, shows the whole site to be woodland forming part of Woolmer Forest. This suggests that the ditches, and especially the hedgerow are likely to pre-date modern mapping. |
