Abstract: |
Fieldwalking and a metal-detector survey were carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a gravel quarry. The western boundary of the site ran parallel to a linear earthwork known as the Launditch, thought to have been of Iron Age date, whilst the line of a former Roman road bounded the site to the north. Other remains recorded in the vicinity included features of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Iron Age date, and a natural mound where evidence of prehistoric and Romano-British activity had been found. During the field-walking survey, prehistoric burnt flints, worked flints, medieval pottery and a single piece of smithing slag were recovered. The flints included a scraper and an awl of Neolithic date. A copper-alloy mount, decorated in Ringerike style and dating to the Viking period, was found by metal-detector. [AIP] |
