Abstract: |
Archaeological work was undertaken in advance of the construction of a sand and gravel extraction plant. Prehistoric worked flint, Middle Iron Age features and finds, a small amount of Late Iron Age/Roman pottery and two post-medieval/modern field ditches were recorded. The Iron Age features comprised pits and post holes and were located in two separate areas. These features were thought to represent settlement at the site. The other results suggested that the site was woodland or scrub for most of its history. It was unlikely that the site contained extensive or significant archaeological remains. [Au(adp)] |
