| Abstract: |
A fieldwalking survey was carried out in advance of proposed gravel extraction, at a site where Roman pottery had previously been found. Two 'red hills', or probable salt-making mounds, had been recorded in the vicinity, and extensive remains of Palaeolithic, Bronze Age, Roman and Saxon date had been found to the south and south-west. During the fieldwalking survey, a large concentration of burnt flint and large quantities of modern pottery and brick were recorded. Above average concentrations of slag, briquetage and post-medieval pottery were recovered in one area, and may have indicated the presence of a post-medieval industrial site. However, the finds were perhaps more likely to have built up as a result of continual clearing of a drainage channel which crossed the site, with upcast being spread across the field. If this were the case, the artefacts could have come from anywhere along the channel. [AIP] |
