Abstract: |
<summary>An evaluation was undertaken along the route of a water pipeline, to investigate a linear earthwork known as Grey Ditch. Earthwork survey prior to trial-trenching identified traces of medieval cultivation activity which had caused a build-up of ploughsoil and/or hillwash over the southern slope of the bank of Grey Ditch. A trench excavated across the ditch established that it had been re-cut on at least five occasions, whilst the bank, although comprising several deposits, had been constructed in a single episode. Pre-bank ploughsoils were found to contain pottery of Romano-British date, whilst residual fragments of Iron Age and Romano-British pottery were recovered from later layers. Numerous features pre-dating the earthwork were also identified, including pits, post holes and stake holes, and material of early Mesolithic through to Late Neolithic date was recovered. {italon}AIP{italoff} |
