| Abstract: |
Open area archaeological excavation was undertaken prior to the residential development of the site. The earliest identifiable activity within the site dated to the prehistoric period, highlighted by a small assemblage of worked flint recovered from a colluvial layer overlying the natural. Several shallow pits and ditches were also recorded, yielding sparse fragments of fired clay but no datable finds. A later prehistoric or early Romano-British date for these features was suggested. The pits and ditches were subsequently sealed by a thick accumulation of colluvium containing abraded tile and Romano-British pottery of early second-century AD date. A stone spread constructed over this colluvium yielded a small number of Roman tile fragments, and the surface was later covered by further hillwash material containing both Romano-British and later finds. Two post-medieval stone trackways, containing 18th to 20th century pottery, were recorded. A finely built stone culvert was associated with one of the tracks. [Au(abr)] |
