Abstract: |
The study area probably remained relatively unaltered until the second half of the 19th century when a large house was constructed on the south side of the hill and a formal park was created out of the wooded hill and, possibly, the surrounding fields. The arrival of the railway in 1869 altered the layout of the landscape with major changes to the field boundaries taking place at this time or soon after. The SMR listed no known sites of archaeological interest within the site itself, however, it was recorded that at least one dwelling existed at an unknown location at the foot of the high ground in 1290. Moreover, an aerial photograph from a series flown in 1991 showed a rectangular crop-mark on level ground at the north end of the site. The shape and location of the crop-mark at the top of the south facing slope suggested that it might have represented the site of this dwelling. [Au(adp)] |
