Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a leisure centre within an Archaeological Priority Zone. Activity dating from the neolithic to the Roman period had been excavated in the surrounding area. During the evaluation, two pits and two ditches of prehistoric date were revealed. A rectangular ditched enclosure was found which probably dated from the 1st century AD. Four slightly later cremations lay within it. Medieval and modern material was recovered from the topsoil and subsoil. It was concluded that further archaeological work would be necessary. [AIP] |
