Abstract: |
An earthwork survey recorded the remains of ridge and furrow cultivation and a number of linear earthworks. Four archaeological trial trenches were opened to investigate the results of the earthwork survey and the proposed locations of construction work liable to involve ground disturbance. These revealed a total of 10 archaeological cut features. The earliest remains relate to a possible Iron Age settlement. The latest was a raised earth platform to the north of an area of ridge and furrow and was probably 19th century in date, it may have been the result of ground levelling associated with the construction of a building known to have survived until after the Second World War.
