| Abstract: |
A previous desktop assessment had identified potential for archaeology along the proposed road and extensive quarrying had revealed considerable evidence for former settlement, particularly for the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. However, much of the route crossed previously quarried land where it was highly unlikely that there would have been any archaeological impact. Surface artefact collection and geophysical survey identified an extensive Iron Age and Romano-British site with enclosure ditches, pits, a possible kiln and field boundaries, which probably represented a rural farmstead. The surface artefact collection also produced small quantities of prehistoric flint, together with pottery and building material, but these did not appear to be indicative of buried archaeological remains and probably represented chance loss. The geophysical survey did not identify any magnetic anomalies of. [Au(abr)] |
