| Abstract: |
Evaluation was undertaken along the proposed route of a bypass, at three sites where geophysical survey had indicated an archaeological potential. At Site A, a rectangular enclosure dating from the late 1st century BC to the early 1st century AD was revealed. Only one feature, a possible pit, correlated with the magnetic anomalies. Other features included ditches, gullies, post holes and medieval furrows. At Site B, a curved ditch coinciding with a feature indicated by the survey was revealed. However, Iron Age pottery was recovered, which called into question earlier interpretation of the feature as a ring ditch. Ditches, pits, a post hole, land drains and a medieval furrow were also observed, and three sherds of Roman pottery were recovered. At Site C, prehistoric flints had been found during fieldwalking, and anomalies which probably represented ridge and furrow had been recorded. Evaluation trenches revealed Late Iron Age ditches, medieval furrows and land drains. [AIP] |
