Abstract: |
Eight evaluation trenches were excavated as a part of a continuing programme of archaeological work in advance of development. Three areas totalling 8.1ha were examined: six trenches on the land for the proposed new Elsworth turn, one trench within the proposed area of a balancing pond at the northeast end of Monk Drive, and a single trench adjacent to the line of the proposed new bridleway at Great Common Farm. No significant archaeological features or deposits were identified in any of these areas. Apparent concentrations of archaeological features were visible as cropmarks in the field immediately to the south of the Elsworth Turn area, but given the negative results these were unlikely to have extended into the evaluated area. Both the Monk Drive and Great Common Farm evaluation area lay within 200m of identified and excavated archaeological sites, dating to the Late Iron Age - Mid Romano-British period. No evidence was found to suggest that these activities extended into the evaluated areas. The remains of a medieval and later ridge and furrow field system were recorded in several trenches at the Elsworth Turn. [Au] |
