Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of 18 trial trenches, was undertaken on the site of a proposed winter storage reservoir. Archaeological features were only revealed within a single trench towards the southwest side of the development area. They consisted of two associated post holes and a NE/SW aligned ditch, which contained a very small quantity of struck flint, Early-Late Iron Age pottery, Roman tile and a single post-medieval tile. Plough marks on the surface of the natural clay and the lack of a defined subsoil indicated that the area had been truncated during extensive ploughing. However, the very small number of residual finds over the rest of the site indicated that it had probably never been extensively occupied. [Au(adp)] |
