Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation on a site adjacent to Larkfield Road revealed four ditch alignments. Suggested functions for the ditches included drainage and boundary purposes. One of the ditches contained a small sherd of Roman pottery. The very small quantities of pottery within the development site and the absence of other types of archaeological finds and features suggested that the site was some distance from any settlement area. The combination of pottery and historical data suggested that the ditches were likely to have been of Roman or Saxon periods particularly as none of the ditch alignments continued into the existing field system or were marked on early maps of the area.
