| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site which lay close to a Late Iron Age and Roman dyke system, fronting a 300m stretch of Roman Stane Street. Cropmarked evidence of ditched enclosures and other features had been recorded in the surrounding area. During the evaluation, a field ditch with a modern fill, linear features and several shallow pits and depressions were recorded. One feature yielded fragments of c. 19th century brick and a residual sherd of Roman pottery. A prehistoric flint scraper and a flint flake were also recovered. It was concluded that the absence of obviously early features and the limited number of significant artefacts suggested that evidence for early activity was, at best, sparse. [AIP] |
