| Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation was undertaken in connection with the proposed construction of new light industrial units and car parking facilities at land at Imperial Way. The evaluation site comprised an area of c.1.52 ha, and was investigated by 12 trial trenches totalling 5 % of the site area. Extensive deposits of late 20th century made ground were identified across the site. One prehistoric feature, possibly representing a hearth, sealed by and cutting into the brickearth, was found in one of the trenches. A quantity of burnt flint and a burnt flake was recovered from the fill of this feature. A few pieces of worked flint of likely Neolithic/Early-Middle Bronze Age date were also recovered from the brickearth immediately above the one feature. [Au(adp)] |
