Abstract: |
Two pit alignments (one contained a sherd of prehistoric pottery and a piece of worked flint) and various boundary ditches, medieval or post-medieval in date, were identified, which had been previously noted as cropmarks. In the northwestern corner of the site some small slots, gullies and pits were encountered from which a sherd of Romano-British pottery and a quantity of animal bone was recovered. These may have been related to agricultural activity contemporary with the probable settlement. The other area of archaeological activity comprised a number of ditches in the centre of the site, from which some sherds of probable medieval pottery were recovered as well as two clay pipe stems, which suggested medieval and post-medieval activity in this area. All features recorded in the evaluation trenches consisted of negative cuts into the natural subsoil with no survival or contemporary surfaces. The evaluation established that the cropmarks corresponded with the nature, density and distribution of features on the ground with only occasional additional features being recorded. [Au(abr)] |
