| Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed parallel linear ditches running obliquely to the contours of the site. Struck flint was found in one of these ditches. The finds were not surprising given the known prehistoric activity in the area and in particular a ploughed-out round barrow was recorded close to these trenches. It was possible that this represented activity along the line of the trackway traversing part of this field to the south, with which they ran parallel. Sparse evidence of late Iron Age activity was identified, with abraded pottery sherds of this date from two intercutting pits. Two separate ditches produced abraded Roman pottery sherds and abraded pottery sherds of possible Bronze Age date were recovered from a pit. These finds were generally from dispersed areas of the large site. A pit/ditch terminal and a small gully dating to the Saxo-Norman period were recorded on the western side of the site. The pit contained deposits of animal bone with reasonably preserved sherds of pottery. A large solution hollow and a large dewpond were recorded, as were a series of post-medieval ditches, two of which contained abraded residual pottery. A small number of features contained abraded pottery sherds of possible Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman date. [Au(abr)] |
