| Abstract: |
A preliminary archaeological investigation of a proposed development site within an Area of High Archaeological Potential was carried out. Evidence of Roman and medieval activity had been recorded in the immediate vicinity, and the site lay adjacent to the historic core of Cheddar village, which contained important Romano-British, Saxon and medieval remains. Examination of part of the site revealed no indication of archaeological activity; a high frequency of abraded post-medieval and modern pottery was noted. The excavation of three geotechnical test trenches was monitored. Two contained nothing of archaeological interest, and a modern pit was revealed within the third. A sherd of medieval pottery was recovered from the spoil. It was concluded that no further archaeological surveillance would be necessary. [AIP] |
