| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to assess the extent of surviving archaeology within the area of a proposed road and housing development. A portion of the total development site was considered to be of archaeological interest due to the presence of Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age and Roman pottery sherds which were recovered during fieldwalking in 1992, and from metalwork recovered through later metal detecting by local enthusiasts. Also, a Late Bronze Age hoard which may have been associated with the pottery finds was also discovered in the area. The evaluation consisted of a series of linear trenches which were mechanically excavated. Within the immediate vicinity of the hoard site a small group of features containing Late Bronze Age pottery were revealed. These features consisted of small shallow pits or postholes. No other significant archaeological deposits or features were located within the evaluation area. [Au] |
