Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development which lay within an area of former wetland and reclaimed saltmarsh. Ridge and furrow earthworks of medieval or post-medieval origin existed at the site, and Romano-British pottery and other artefacts had been found in the area. The village of Pilning may have originated in the Saxon period. During the evaluation, drainage or enclosure ditches pre-dating the ridge and furrow were revealed, and a medieval or post-medieval boundary ditch was recorded. A small number of artefacts were recovered, including possible Romano-British pottery and post-medieval pottery. It was recommended that a watching brief should be carried out during development works. [AIP] |
