Abstract: |
A fieldwalking survey was carried out on land scheduled for mineral extraction. Aerial photography had revealed plentiful cropmark evidence in an area to the south, representing enclosures, a ring ditch and other substantial features likely to have been of archaeological significance. During the fieldwalking survey, a small and widely dispersed sample of Roman brick and tile was recovered. Prehistoric activity was represented by a struck flint flake of possible Bronze Age or Neolithic date, and a piece of burnt flint. Post-Roman artefacts, mainly tile, were also recovered. Their distribution was fairly typical of the background scatter commonly found in the region's ploughsoils. [AIP] |
