| Abstract: |
Three trenches were excavated as part of an archaeological evaluation. Trench 1 revealed a series of flood deposits masking three main palaeochannels. The northernmost channel was the earliest and a calibrated Carbon 14 date of 2835 -2340 BC was obtained from the peat filled channel. 184 flints were retrieved from the evaluation trenches, of which 70 were found on the ground surface prior to excavation. Quantities of material were present only at the northern end of Trench 2 where both Neolithic flints and pottery were found. Trench 3, to the south, on another sand outcrop also produced Neolithic pottery and flint, in deposits at the lowest point of the trench, but, like Trench 2, they had been washed down from higher ground. No evidence of Neolithic/Bronze Age structural remains was found. The high concentration of Neolithic material found on the sand outcrop suggested that if archaeological features were present, they may have been destroyed by ploughing and that the artefacts brought to the surface represented all that remained from that period of activity. Selected trenching in these areas might establish the degree of preservation more clearly. [Au(abr)] |
