Abstract: |
<summary>Evaluation work carried out in response to this proposed road scheme comprised fieldwalking, metal-detecting, and the excavation of trial-trenches. The fieldwalking produced finds ranging in date from the Prehistoric period to recent times; sherds of Roman pottery of 1st to 4th century date represented the largest group of material recovered, but Mesolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Age flints were also found. The metal-detecting survey produced 64 Roman coins, four brooches, a hairpin, a finger ring, and a fragment of a terret ring. These two elements of the investigation indicated that there was a lengthy Roman occupation of the site, presumably the result of linear development along the Roman road, spreading south from the large settlement at Scole, just north of the river. However, the results of the trial-trenching appeared to indicate that most of the crop marks visible on aerial photographs did not pre-date the Middle Ages. {italon}AIP{italoff} {italon}SMR Primary Record Numbers:{italoff} SUS005 |
