Abstract: |
An archaeological desk based assessment and evaluation were undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of three dwellings and garages, along with the demolition of the existing workshops on the site. The assessment revealed the presence of a number of Anglo-Saxon remains in the immediate area of the site, and indeed from the central core of the village itself. Casual finds of Romano-British date were also not uncommon in the area. The excavation of two trial trenches revealed a considerable number of archaeological features of Romano-British (generally 2nd century) date, suggesting a limited range of occupation. The features revealed were mainly enclosure ditches and pits. [Au(adp)] |
