Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on 31.7ha of land in advance of proposed extensions to the Genome Campus. Nine trenches were opened by machine and seven of these were found to contain archaeological remains. Among the features excavated were several ditches, pits, post holes and gullies. Scatters of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age flint work that lay within the archaeological features. A Bronze Age feature was identified but there was an absence of securely dated Iron Age and Roman features. Medieval house platforms and closes were located in the area of the 1995 earthwork survey. Several features could not be dated because of the absence of pottery or other dateable artefacts, but those containing fragments of Neidermendig Lava quern could have been Saxon or earlier.
