Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising the excavation of 14 trial trenches was undertaken across the site prior to the determination of a planning application for mineral extraction. Eight trenches contained archaeological features. Recovered artefacts included worked flints, pottery, tile, fired clay and animal bone, dating from the early prehistoric to modern period. One area of significant archaeological remains was identified to the north east of the site, it comprised a number of pits and ditches, probably representing settlement of pre-Belgic Iron Age date with more limited evidence for activity during the Belgic Iron and Roman periods.
