Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trenching was undertaken on the proposed site of a Recycling Unit. This followed a geophysical survey. Although the results of the geophysical survey were largely negative, cropmarks on aerial photographs suggested the presence of archaeological features including a cursus monument. A series of 15 trial trenches were excavated to test these possible features. Very few features of potential archaeological interest were recorded in the trial trenches. A number of linear features aligned north-south were identified and sampled, but these appeared to be the remains of medieval and post-medieval plough furrows. [Au(abr)] |
