Abstract: |
A fieldwalking survey in advance of proposed sand and gravel extraction discovered prehistoric, Roman, medieval and post-medieval finds. Two distinct areas of interest were possibly marked by a sherd of Neolithic/Bronze Age pottery and a small cluster of worked flint. A thin scatter of Roman pottery and tile near Blackley Mead Wood was possibly derived from a nearby, but so far undetected, site to the west of the survey area. Two concentrations of post-medieval tile and one of post-medieval brick were probably related to the demolition of two former buildings, both of which appeared on the tithe award map of 1839. A dearth of medieval and post-medieval pottery possibly indicated that a former area of so far unexplored earthworks to the immediate south of the farm was largely non-domestic in origin. A notable find from the survey area was a large fragment of Pudding-stone quern. [Au] |
