Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site where four groups of cropmarks and an undated earthwork feature, the 'Pondholton Farm Enclosure', had previously been recorded. Potential prehistoric remains found included a cremation, post holes and a trackway cropmark. Residual Roman material was recovered from Saxon features, which included two possible sunken floored buildings, a possible well, pits, a gully and a post hole. A ditch, a pit and a possible well of Roman date and a Saxon cremation were also recorded, and a ditch which may have marked the western boundary of the enclosure was located. This could not be closely dated, but was stratigraphically later than Saxon deposits. Post-medieval artefacts and a medieval horseshoe nail were recovered. [AIP] |
