Abstract: |
An excavation was carried out prior to development at a site where geophysical survey and trial trenching had identified an area of archaeological potential. Pits and post holes associated with flint flakes, Neolithic or Early Bronze Age implements and Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age pottery were recorded. Romano-British pottery was found at the surface of a causewayed ditch and within the upper fill of a rock-cut oven. Medieval pottery and a 13th-14th century penny were recovered. Post-medieval field boundaries and pottery were also observed. It was concluded that any development work in areas immediately to the south and east of the excavation site should be archaeologically monitored. [AIP] |
