Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which had potential for bronze age peat deposits. A Roman road passed nearby, and the site lay between two medieval villages. During the evaluation, post-medieval building foundations and a timber revetment were recorded. The latter retained landfill which included waste from shipping activity. An 18th-19th century river wall was found, and pottery was recovered. It was concluded that an excavation should be undertaken. [AIP] |
