Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site, which lay within an area which had been intensively farmed and settled in prehistoric times. Roman settlements may also have lain in the vicinity, and it was possible that later field boundaries or water systems could have been present at the site. It was noted that the greater part of the site lay on a floodplain, which may have reduced the possibility of earlier settlements. During the evaluation, no archaeological features were revealed, and only post-medieval artefacts were recovered. These included fragments of 18th century clay pipe and late 18th-19th century china, and a sherd of 16th century pottery. Samples of peat deposits with potential for radiocarbon dating were taken, and it was noted that two continuous samples, to be extracted by way of boreholes, would be necessary for detailed pollen analysis to be carried out.
