| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed residential development site. A documentary reference indicated that barrows had lain to the north-west, whilst other archaeological sites recorded in the vicinity included the findspot of a Romano-British pottery bowl, the earthwork remains of a 15th century manor house and the possible site of a 9th century battle. During the evaluation, the remains of an animal burial of apparently modern origin and a linear feature were revealed. The latter was thought to have been horticultural in origin, as part of the site had previously been used as allotments. Two sherds of Early to Middle Iron Age pottery were recovered; these were considered to have been introduced to the site from elsewhere, perhaps as a result of manuring. [AIP] |
