Abstract: |
An evaluation revealed evidence from four chronological periods with other features which could not be confidently dated. A general flint scatter across the site indicated Later Neolithic and Bronze Age activity, whilst a single isolated feature contained earlier Neolithic flint and pottery. A series of drainage ditches dated to the Late Iron Age/Romano-British period contained a distinctive pottery assemblage. The ditches were superceded by a droveway, and the interpretation was of a change of land-use from arable to pasture. There was no indication of settlement of any period within the area of the evaluation. Post-medieval activity was indicated by the presence of former field boundaries and finds. [Au(abr)] |
