Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development, which lay close to a site where multi-period human activity had been recorded. Burials had been found at an uncertain location within the site in 1861. During the evaluation, a ditch and a pit containing a small amount of prehistoric pottery, a pit containing Iron Age and Saxon pottery, a small linear feature and further features containing Saxon pottery and loomweight fragments were revealed. Many pits and ditches containing 11th-12th century artefacts were recorded; some of these also contained small amounts of Roman pottery and tile. A probable post-medieval pond and the remains of 19th century buildings were present. During an earthwork survey, a slight bank and a platform, marked on one side by a ditch, were recorded. The earthworks may have been associated with 18th century boundaries, or with the features excavated. [AIP] |
