Abstract: |
Fieldwalking was undertaken at the proposed site of a quarry. Earlier desk-based assessment had identified the possibility that a Saxon or early medieval settlement had lain on or in the vicinity of fields immediately to the east and south-east of the proposal site. During the fieldwalking exercise, large amounts of prehistoric flint tools, cores, potboilers and flakes were recovered, which included two Neolithic leaf-shaped arrowheads. A fragment of Neolithic greenstone axe was also found. No material of Roman, Saxon or early medieval date was recovered, although a small amount of late medieval pottery was found. 17th century and later pottery and relatively large quantities of modern pottery and building materials, which were probably indicative of muck-spreading from adjacent farms, were also collected.The distribution of flints was relatively even, but five clusters of material were identified.
