Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a nursing home. Observation of small-scale engineering test-pits prior to demolition at the site had proved inconclusive. Palaeolithic, Neolithic and Roman artefacts had been recorded in the surrounding area, and a minor Roman road may have passed near the site. Residual Saxon and medieval pottery was recovered. A series of post-holes and two pits dating from the 17th-19th centuries were revealed. One pit contained the semi-articulated remains of one or more cows, and may have related to a nearby gelatine factory. It was concluded that no further work would be necessary.[AIP] |
