Abstract: |
An evaluation was undertaken prior to development. Four trial pits were excavated, revealing modern usage, such as dump layers and earlier hard landscaping features. Trial Pit 4 contained a partially re-excavated engineer's geotechnical trial pit and the original logs for this trench indicated similar modern dumping deposits as seen through this evaluation. Other trenches, beneath modern deposits, revealed dump/occupation layers containing a number of Saxon pottery sherds and some material identified as kiln furniture. As the discoveries were limited in nature and extent, its possible that the deposits belonged to part of a 'waster' (dump associated with a neighbouring kiln site), but the presence of a kiln on the site could not be ruled out. The presence of stratified late-Saxon/early medieval deposits indicted some form of occupation at this location, perhaps on part of the terraced hill-slope. [Au(abr)] |
