Abstract: |
Limited desk-based assessment and an evaluation were carried out in connection with proposals for the construction of a bungalow. A number of Neolithic pits and Bronze Age ring ditches had been found to the west and north-west of the proposal site, and the Wollaston area had been densely occupied during the Iron Age. A Roman pottery kiln had been recorded to the south of the site, and Roman buidings had been recorded in the vicinity. Evidence of Saxon settlement had been recorded nearby, and the medieval manor was located c. 200m to the south. During the evaluation, a number of post-medieval features, including a well and two possible pits, were recorded. A post-hole and a ditch or pit which dated to the Saxon or medieval period were also revealed, and a ditch system of late 19th or early 20th century date was found. Finds included a single prehistoric flint, a sherd of Roman pottery, ten sherds of early to middle Saxon hand-made pottery, medieval potsherds, a fragment of medieval window glass and a number of 18th-10th century objects.
