Abstract: |
This evaluation was carried out in advance of a proposed relief road. A total area of 5.14 hectares was sampled, equivalent to 1% of the entire study area. Evidence for a medieval field system was identified as well as a number of ditches which were medieval to post-medievalin date. Roman pottery was found as well as evidence for salt production in the form of two linear features, one of which contained 10kg of briquetage. The salt working could date from the Late Iron Age to Romano-British period as there were various similar sites in the general area. An Iron Age roundhouse was also identified, although no dateable evidence was located within the feature. [Au(adp)] |
