Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken at Ellen Road on an area of former agricultural land. The investigation involved the trial trenching of a 2.5% sample of the 6.6 hectare site. The evaluation revealed the presence of a number of cut features, mainly ditches and pits. Only minimal dating evidence was retrieved. It was considered that the greater part of the features were related to former agricultural field boundaries, many of which appeared to Iron Age. There was also slight evidence for small-scale activity during the Neolithic period. Finds of later material were almost entirely unstratified. During the medieval period the site had been used for agriculture, with a characteristic ridge-and-furrow system established. [AIP] |
