Abstract: |
Archaeological evaluation by means of trial trenching was undertaken ahead of the proposed development of new park and ride facility. The evaluation revealed the entrance of an enclosure with a defensove element, a tightly flexed burial of possible Neolithic date and a tightly flexed claf burial of unknown but presumably prehistoric date. Absolute dating of all excavated features was somewhat problematic at the time of writing due to the range of flint and pottery artefacts recovered being relatively small and undiagnostic in nature. The current assemblage was provisionally ascribed to the Late Bronze Age - Early Iron Age transition. Evidence from previous excavations over the past 100 years within the local area tended to support the view that the landscape surrounding the subject site was being intensively utilised for settlement and agriculture at that time.
