Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation consisting of fourteen trenches was undertaken within an allotment area which lay in the vicinity of Roman occupation remains as well as medieval and post-medieval 'lost bridges'. The presence of a silted river channel running north-south across the site had been identified during previous observations. The channel may have been flowing in the Roman period, or earlier, and it was possible that the remains of a contemporary bridge or fording place may have survived within alluvial clays. The potential presence of important palaeoenvironmental remains was also noted and environmental sampling was undertaken. Nothing of archaeological interest was encountered during the excavations, bar a single abraded flint core. Further investigation work was recommended, however, to assess the land more fully. [AIP] |
