Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a residential development. Archaeological remains previously recorded in the surrounding area included prehistoric stone and flint artefacts, a Bronze Age dagger, Iron Age and Roman coins and an undated round barrow. During the evaluation, a post-hole and a ditch of late post-medieval date were recorded and a small number of finds were recovered, comprising four sherds of medieval pottery, a Roman sherd and two small pieces of peg tile. It was concluded that the absence of cut features and the small quantity of finds recovered suggested that the artefacts had derived from manuring. A photographic record was made of an air-raid shelter located at the northern end of the evaluated area. [AIP] |
