Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. Early prehistoric and Roman sites and Bronze Age metalwork had been recorded in the surrounding area. A wharf and a canal occupied part of the site from the late 18th century to the mid 20th. During the evaluation, a prehistoric flint flake and fragments of charcoal and burnt flint were recovered from an area of peat. Post-medieval gravel surfaces and infill relating to the backfilling of the canal were recorded. It was concluded that any archaeological deposits in areas affected by the canal would have been destroyed. [AIP] |
