| Abstract: |
Trial trenches excavated at a proposed development site were positioned in order to investigate anomalies revealed by a gradiometer survey. In the surrounding area, cropmarks representing later prehistoric/Romano-British field systems had been recorded. A series of ditches forming part of an extensive system of land division, incorporating a double-ditched linear feature and a sub-rectangular enclosure, were recorded. Pottery recovered from the ditches suggested that at least some had been open during the Romano-British period. Numerous features were identified within the enclosure, including a four-post structure, a possible rectangular structure and several large pits. A metalled surface had been laid close to the putative entrance. A roundhouse lay to the west of the enclosure. Evidence of coal extraction was also found, comprising the remains of bell-pits and more recent shafts. [Au(adp)] |
