Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring was undertaken along a length of the route of the B1077 across the western half of Stuston Common. The length of the route was considered archaeologically sensitive as it crossed the projected line of a supposed Roman road, cut through a possible medieval earthwork and through an area from which a large number of flint tools had been collected. The results of the exercise proved that the area of the common had been open, undeveloped heathland since the Roman period. A ditch filled with Roman domestic debris suggested occupation occurring on the periphery of the common. The discovery of Bronze Age pottery and struck flint both as residual finds within the ditch and within the base of the soil horizon furthered evidence of intense prehistoric activity. The supposed medieval earthworks turned out to be geological undulations. [AIP] |
