Abstract: |
The study identified several elements within the study area of archaeological interest: the site of prehistoric flint tool finds; the site of two former post-medieval field boundaries; a former modern gravel pit; and the presence of alluvial soils that may have included palaeoenvironmental evidence. No archaeological features of Anglo-Saxon or medieval origin were recorded either within the study area or from its general environs. The recorded presence of other archaeological features of Palaeolithic, Bronze Age and Romano-British origin within the general environs of the study area suggested that other unidentified prehistoric archaeological features may have survived within or adjacent to the study area. It was also noted that part of the proposed route bordered Charborough Park, protected by statute as it was registered by English Heritage as a Grade II* Park and Garden of Special Historic Interest.
