Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation, consisting of field artefact collection and trial excavation, was undertaken following the submission of a planning application for housing development across the site. The evaluation located a concentration of small pits and post holes fairly typical of a Bronze Age settlement. An additional concentration of pits towards the south of the study area may have been slightly later in date. Early Iron Age pottery was found within the fills of one of the pits. A small quantity of burnt, probably human, was found in a small pit adjacent to these features, and was therefore likely to have been contemporary. Isolated post holes containing Saxo-Norman pottery indicated activity peripheral to the main settlement to the south. [Au(adp)] |
