Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on the site of a proposed residential development. A preliminary rapid identification survey recorded two upstanding east-to-west running banks, which were believed to be post-medieval in date. A trench within the northern area upon the line of a proposed access road revealed two pits, one of them containing a sherd of Bronze Age pottery, and a linear feature containing Roman pottery. Two post-holes and three linear features were identified. It was possible that the linear feature in Trench 5 was the same as that detected in trench 7, and that it represented the ditched boundary of a field or land division possibly dating to the medieval period.
