| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed extension of the quarry. Seventeen trenches were excavated, all of which contained archaeological features. Although the site as a whole was characterised by a distinct paucity of artefacts, most features were dateable either to the Bronze Age or the Romano-British period; in addition a few post-medieval field boundaries were recovered. The densest concentration of Bronze Age features - field boundaries, pits and a probable settlement - lay towards the east of the site, although traces of prehistoric archaeology appeared right across the investigation area. The Romano-British features were mostly concentrated towards the west, near the Archaeological Conservation Zone, and included numerous co-axial field ditches and a metalled trackway. [Au] |
