Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken in advance of a planning application for the extension of existing quarrying activity. Geophysical survey and ten trial trenches demonstrated the presence of at least two ditched enclosures an industrial iron smelting site, and several other features. No finds were recovered from the fills of enclosure ditch A. Enclosure B was securely dated to the Roman period from the pottery within its ditch. Enclosure B appears to have post-dated enclosure A and was possibly contemporary with the iron smelting activity. A V-shaped linear feature within enclosure B could not be associated with either enclosure A or B, due to the lack of finds or datable material from the lower fills of its ditch. It may have related to an earlier or later series of earthworks on the site. [Au(adp)] |
