| Abstract: |
Several areas of potential archaeological interest had been identified along the proposed route of a water pipeline. Geological test-pits excavated as a preliminary stage of the pipeline project were subject to monitoring within these areas, in order to record any archaeological deposits and to attempt to establish their character, extent, state of preservation and date. Sites of archaeological significance identified in the vicinity had included areas of ridge and furrow, a quarry of possible post-medieval date, a Romano-British camp situated close to an enclosure of possible Iron Age date, earthworks near a 15th century moated hall, and an 18th century building. During the archaeological monitoring, only one feature of interest was observed. This comprised a ditch containing 16th and 17th century pottery, which may have been associated with a dried-up pond located to the south-east of the test-pit. It was concluded that, given the limited size of the test-pits, it was perhaps not surprising that so few archaeological features or deposits had been identified. [AIP] |
