Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. Mesolithic and Neolithic flint tools, Bronze Age flint and metalwork and a burnt mound had been recorded in the surrounding area, and a major prehistoric, Roman and Saxon site lay nearby. An earlier fieldwalking survey of the proposal site had recorded concentrations of Mesolithic and Neolithic flintwork and small amounts of Romano-British pottery. During the evaluation, archaeological features were revealed within a small number of the trenches excavated. The majority of these appeared to have related to the post-medieval landscape; features included tree-holes and hedgelines. Prehistoric activity was identified in three areas, and was represented by concentrations of fire-cracked flint, worked flint and two possible hearths. A Mesolithic date was tentatively suggested.
