| Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken prior to the construction of a school complex. Six trenches totalling some 199 m sq. were mechanically excavated. Much of the site had been disturbed by modern activities linked to the former factory site. Some parts in trenches 4-6 had escaped damage. The removal of the undisturbed subsoil exposed archaeological features, consisting of a pit with semi-articulated bones of a small mammal and flint, post holes from two circular buildings and a substantial ditch. No dateable finds were retrieved from the excavated features. However, the results from the evaluation seemed to be consistent with the known evidence for Iron Age activity in the area. [Au(abr)] |
