Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed archaeological deposits and features dating from the prehistoric to post medieval periods. A number of Romano-British field boundary ditches and a probable Roman timber building were identified, and a large quantity of unstratified Roman pottery indicative of intense Roman activity within and around the site. Previous excavations had revealed Roman burials within the site and further evidence of this was found in the shape of a human skull within a pit. It was noted as being very likely that further remains and graves survived elsewhere within the development area. There was also substantial evidence for post medieval settlement and agricultural practices. [Au(adp) |
