Abstract:

Eleven trenches were opened, but no significant dateable archaeological features were found. Several post-medieval drainage ditches, a small area of probable post-medieval quarrying, some nineteenth century planning pits, plus evidence of Victorian or modern cultivation in the form of plough furrows, were identified. A handful of earlier features included a subcircular pit and a group of rather truncated irregular shaped hollows, crescent pits or ditches, some of which could have been tree throws. All of these proved to be sterile, apart from small amounts of burnt flint. [Au(abr)]
