Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. Earlier desk-based assessment had identified that prehistoric and Romano-British artefacts had been found in the surrounding area, and that a large number of cropmark sites had been recorded. Excavation of one such site had revealed evidence of Romano-British settlement. An aerial photographic assessment and a magnetometer survey had been incorporated into the desk-based assessment. The geophysical survey had identified two signifiant linear anomalies within the proposal site. During the evaluation, evidence of an extensive and complex pattern of ditches along north-south and east-west alignments was revealed. Finds recovered from the ditch fills indicated a 17th-19th century date. The recorded sequence showed an interlocking pattern of ditches which appeared to have been backfilled, either deliberately or naturally, prior to the excavation of the next, with only a short timespan in between. The similarities between the features and between the artefacts recovered from respective fills suggested a degree of continuity behind their planning and construction. [AIP] |
