Abstract: |
A second stage of archaeological evaluation was undertaken across the site and consisted of the excavation of nine trial trenches (7 x 40m by 1.8m and 2 x 20m by 1.9m) and five trial pits. The first stage of evaluation had revealed archaeological features in the form of two ditches and a shallow gully. Pottery dated to the 1st millenium BC (Late Bronze Age) was recovered from one of the ditches and the gully; both ditches also contained burnt flint. The ditches may have represented land drainage / boundaries for stock grazing. The stage 2 evaluation revealed further features in the form of ditches and post holes attributed to the Late Bronze Age. The ditches were thought to be for land drainage and a number of the post holes may have formed part of the remains of two possible circular structures. Trench 15 revealed a small undated pit and several linear features, one of which contained pottery dated to the Romano-British period (1st century AD). [Au(adp)] |
