Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out on land along the northern boundary of a rugby club. A number of magnetic anomalies had previously been identified in the area by geophysical survey. However, one was known to have been caused by a modern service pipe, whilst the others were not thought to have represented ancient remains. A Palaeolithic stone axe had been found in the area, and a Mid-Late Iron Age settlement had been excavated to the north and east of the site. A Roman road lay immediately to the east. The evaluation revealed a number of undated ditches, gullies, possible post-holes and pits, including a cooking pit. The close proximity of these features to the previously recorded Iron Age remains suggested that they may also have been of prehistoric date. The few artefacts recovered included a Mesolithic flint tool and a fragment of 18th-20th century pottery. [Au(adp)] |
