Abstract:
Three trial trenches were excavated as an archaeological evaluation prior to the proposed development of the site. The southern two trenches revealed backfilled quarries of probable 19th century date. Pottery was present within the backfill and this may have indicated that evidence for Roman activity was located in the area but had been destroyed by quarrying. The northernmost trench identified two probable Roman features, a substantial boundary ditch and a post hole. The study area was located towards the edge of an area known to have produced Roman artefacts and building material. [Au(abr)]
