Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken in advance of the redevelopment of the farmyard for housing. Three evaluation trenches were excavated, but only one revealed features of archaeological significance. Trench 3 revealed a shallow ditch aligned east west, at the southern end of the farmyard. The profile of the ditch suggested that it was not used for defensive purposes. No structural evidence associated with the development of the farm on the site was observed within any of the trenches and no datable finds were recovered. The discovery of a shallow ditch within one of the evaluation trenches and the previous discoveries of a substantial ditch indicated some as yet unidentified past activity within the study area. It was therefore recommended that further archaeological investigations be carried out during the development of the western and southern areas of the site to ascertain the nature and possible usage of this and any possible associated features.
