Abstract:
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on 6 ha of land as a planning condition prior to residential development. Of the 20 trenches excavated, 11 contained features that could be described as archaeological and nine of these contained pottery of Late Iron Age or Early Roman date. A small assemblage of Saxo-Norman pottery was also found, the majority of which came from a single pit in trench 1. Pottery was abraded and fragments were small from most of the trenches, however, trenches 1, 2 and 4 contained an assemblage of larger fragments found in pits including a complete bowl. A small quantity of animal bone was recovered which consisted mainly of small fragments, except in trench 1 where a small quantity of better preserved bone was found. Evidence of medieval ridge and furrow was observed in nearly all of the trenches, but most showed signs of more recent disturbance, probably from ploughing. One area of high archaeological potential and a further two of limited to moderate potential had been identified. [Au(abr)]
