Abstract: |
A total of five evaluation trenches were excavated on the west and north sides of the site within the footprint of the proposed development. Across the northern half of the site no archaeological deposits or cut features earlier than isolated late 19th - early 20th century pits survived due to terracing. Deposits at the south end of the site in trenches one and two sealed a post-medieval plough soil horizon, which sealed an east-west drainage or boundary ditch of possible 17th century date. Similar post-medieval ditches found during the construction of the south stand in 1996 were interpreted as features associated with field systems belonging to the Ruckholt estate. Two residual worked flints of probable Bronze Age date, one a crude flake and the other a side scraper found in trenches one and five were the only evidence for Bronze Age activity in the general area of the site.
