Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the proposed development area. The study area consisted of 493 hectares and was evaluated using fieldwalking, geophysical surveying and trial trenching. Very limited evidence for pre-Iron Age occupation was identified, with only a limited scatter of finds and two possible Bronze Age occupation sites, identified from cropmarks outside the development area. The most prolific period of activity in the study area was in the Iron Age. Fourteen sites were identified, although only eight of these were confirmed by trial trenches, the rest were assigned by morphology. The sites comprised settlements, enclosures and field systems. Four major Romano-British settlements were investigated, along with associated field systems. Very limited occupation finds and features were identified in the area from the Saxon and medieval periods. [Au(abr)] |
