Abstract: |
A baseline archaeological survey was undertaken of the site in response to proposals to develop the land for residential use. It consisted of a desk-based assessment, a more detailed study and a physical walkover of approx. 16.75 hectares of land at Todd's Green, at the northern end of the assessment area. Several archaeological sites of prehistoric, Roman and medieval date were known from the assessment area, which included designated Areas of Archaeological Significance and buildings of historic interest. No sites were recorded within the survey site at Todd's Green, though vestigial races of medieval ridge and furrow cultivation could be seen immediately to the south and west of Todd's End and a piece of abraded Roman tile was recovered during the walkover survey of the site. The field morphology and tenurial history of the land was found to be characterised by surviving elements of common fields, medieval deer parks, old agriculture and modern enclosure, interspersed with patches of ancient woodland.
