Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of test-pits and machine-excavated trial trenches. Archaeological artefacts were present in very low densities. Several linear features were present and were considered to be field ditches of possible Romano-British or medieval date. A single cremation burial was located below a shallow deposit of ploughsoil and was considered to be of Romano-British date. Overall the potential for significant archaeological deposits in the survey area was low, but the presence of the cremation feature raised the possibility that further associated deposits may have survived in the vicinity. The feature lay away from the development footprint and may not therefore have been directly affected by the development proposals. [Au] |
