Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological survey and excavation was carried out in advance of the construction of various elements of a resewerage scheme in an area of pasture which contained a series of undated earthworks. These earthworks included a large banked enclosure, possible house platforms and surviving ridge and furrow. A survey of the earthworks was carried out as well as a gradiometer survey along the route of an outfall culvert which identified various anomalies upon which trenches were excavated. No archaeological features were identified at the northern end of the site. The bulk of the archaeological remains were identified as dating from the 12th or 13th century AD through to the present day. A number of probable hedge boundaries, boundary ditches, house platforms, trackways and an enclosure were excavated and dated to the medieval period. [AIP] |
