Abstract: |
Field observations were made during the laying of a replacement water main. A number of cropmark sites, one of which represented an extensive system of possible enclosures and potential prehistoric settlement, lay directly on or adjacent to the line of the pipe. Post-medieval sites also lay nearby; these included fishponds, a lodge, a park and the site of a mill. During the watching brief, no evidence for the existence of cropmarked features was observed. Slight embankments sealing shallow stone footings, which represented medieval or post-medieval field boundaries marked on tithe maps, were recorded, and a small number of flint artefacts were recovered. These were probably of a Bronze Age date. A small number of medieval pottery sherds and a possible Romano-British sherd were also found. The site of a crashed World War II Hurricane fighter was identified on the margins of the easement. [AIP] |
