Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising field-walking, metal-detecting and the excavation of a trench was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a fuels depot. The site occupied part of an area formerly known as Twanton Fields, and was believed to have lain close to the site of the lost village of Twanton or Tharanton. During construction of the adjacent premises a number of artefacts had been recovered, including a Roman coin, a half-penny of King Alfred and a copper-alloy strap-end and buckle of medieval date. During the field-walking and metal-detecting survey, prehistoric flints and Roman and medieval pottery sherds were recovered in very small quantities. A post-medieval buckle was also found. The evaluation trench revealed three features of recent origin. [AIP] |
