Abstract: |
An evaluation consisting of an earthwork survey, field survey and shovel test holes was carried out to assess the archaeological implications of commercial development on the site. These showed the area to have a low archaeological potential and that it was part of the zone of peripheral, off site activities in the past. The only earthworks encountered were two mounds which form part of the known site of 'Four Barrows'. Although the Ordnance Survey record these as possible barrows, the more recent opinion is that they are post medieval sand-dumps associated with quarrying for road aggregate. The combined fieldwalking and metal detecting recovered a thin scatter of flint flakes (including an Early Bronze Age flint barbed and tanged arrowhead), a few pottery sherds and 18th and 19th century metal finds. The shovel test holes found the depth of the top and subsoil to be not excessive. [AIP] |
