Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of two 20m by 1.6m trial trenches and two 10m by 1.6m trial trenches, was undertaken on the site of proposed residential development. The evaluation indicated that the front of the development area had been heavily disturbed by modern intrusion although traces of late medieval possible quarry pits were revealed. At the rear of the development area disturbance was minimal and low level archaeological activty was encountered, in the form of a boundary ditch and putative trackway, possibly dating to the Anglo-Saxon period.
