Abstract: |
A watching brief was carried out during topsoil stripping and the excavation of a pipe trench. An earlier Environmental Impact Statement had identified that the pipeline route crossed an area where Palaeolithic artefacts and Mesolithic peat deposits had been recorded. A prehistoric 'dugout' canoe, a Neolithic axe, Roman artefacts and a Roman settlement site had also been found, and a number of moated farms and manors lay in the area. During the watching brief, a number of sherds of medieval Mill Green ware and medieval sandy orange ware were located to the south of Woodgreen Road, along with a late medieval horseshoe. Further medieval pottery was found to the east of the Cattlegate Flood Relief Channel. Post-medieval artefacts included flowerpot, brick and tile, whilst the possible remains of post-medieval ridge and furrow were identified. [AIP] |
