| Abstract: |
This report formed a preliminary assessment of archaeological investigation undertaken on a redevelopment site. The site lay within an Area of High Archaeological Potential according to the Spelthorne Local Plan, and on the northwest edge of the medieval and early post-medieval village. Previous archaeological investigation in the area had produced some notable finds of prehistoric Roman and Saxon date, although there had been no conclusive evidence for early activity in the vicinity of the site. An initial field evaluation produced several positive findings of medieval and earlier post-medieval date, and as a consequence an archaeological watching brief was carried out during development groundworks. A number of significant archaeological features and finds assemblages were recorded from the site. It was considered that these included material of prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. In particular, the site produced notable quantities of prehistoric struck flint and of both early and later medieval pottery. One inhumation of probable Roman date had also been found, plus several major features relating to medieval activity. [Au(abr)] |
