| Abstract: |
<summary>A series of archaeological investigations were undertaken during the construction and upgrading of racehorse gallops. A later prehistoric linear ditch was sectioned and shown to have been constructed in open, grassland conditions. Earthwork banks and ditches were recorded by contour survey and aerial photographic plotting. These earthworks included further linear ditches, the lynchets of a "cohesive" field system, ridge and furrow and a series of multiple linear features, possibly tracks or ditches. Collections of Bronze Age and Roman pottery recovered during topsoil stripping were consistent with previous evidence for settlement of these periods in the vicinity. {italon}?Au{italoff} |
