Abstract: |
An evaluation comprising 64 trenches was carried out in advance of a new road scheme at Stonehenge. A notably sparse distribution of archaeological evidence was found, with little dating evidence. Agricultural boundaries made up most of the archaeological features present, the earliest thought to be related to the known Late Bronze Age settlement at Longbarrow Crossroads. Possible settlement related activity consisted of an enclosure ditch and associated pit and post hole. An Iron age pit and ditch, a possible Roman enclosure ditch and medieval strip lynchets were recorded. Finds comprised burnt flint, Late Neolithic/Bronze Age flintwork, a late prehistoric quern-stone fragment and pottery of later prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval date. [Au(abr)] |
