Abstract: |
Archaeological excavation was undertaken prior to the construction of a new sports hall. Two areas totalling some 730-sq.m were mechanically excavated. Although much of the site had been disturbed by modern interventions and levelling, the southern part of the development area had escaped damage. There, the removal of the undisturbed topsoil and subsoil exposed archaeological features, consisting of pits, post holes and ditches. The excavation produced evidence for land use from the late Neolithic period to Roman times and, possibly, for livestock management during the Late Neolithic/Bronze Age period, as suggested by the presence of ditched enclosures and double-ditch/post-built enclosures/droveway systems. The results seemed to corroborate the existing evidence for land clearance and management from the late Neolithic period. There was no evidence for industrial activities in association with the Roman site to the south of the development area. [Au(abr)] |
