Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during residential development. Investigations were undertaken because the site lay close to prehistoric remains, including salterns and medieval pottery had been found nearby. Only one archaeological feature was revealed during the watching brief. A shallow pit was identified on the west side of the site containing a small quantity of 16th to 17th century pottery, brick and a fragment of lead. A possible earthwork platform was identified on the east side of the site during the early stages of the watching brief. However, this feature was found not to be associated with any sub-surface archaeological features or artefacts. No evidence of prehistoric salt-making activity was identified. However, 'natural' deposits recorded at the site, may have been lain down during this period. [Au(abr)] |
