Abstract: |
Eight trial trenches were excavated in response to a planning condition. A paleochannel, which had silted up with substantial alluvial deposits, was identified, possibly reflecting early Mesolithic to the Roman/Saxon activity. The environmental assessment of the samples indicated an early prehistoric date, but these were inconclusive. A trench, in the south-west corner, contained three probable ditches, a post holes and a single pit. The pit revealed finds and was dated to the Middle Bronze Age. On the southern boundary alluvial deposits sealed a buried soil, a tree hole and features that contained 'bloom' derived from the production of iron. A substantial undated north-south orientated ditch, filled by alluvial silts, was also observed. It had been re-cut and probably backfilled in the post-medieval period. An agricultural phase was identified and concrete structures relating to recent industrial use would have truncated earlier sequences in many places. In conclusion it was considered that this assessment was sufficient. [Au(abr)] |
