Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment examined an area of agricultural land to the west of Marston Mortaine, close to Moat Farm. The land around Moat Farm contained a range of medieval features including Moat Farm itself, a series of settlement earthworks, ridge and furrow and part of the medieval field system. Some of the earthworks form a Scheduled Ancient Monument. The actual study area was located in an area of ridge and furrow to the NW of the moat and settlement earthworks. Earlier archaeological investigations immediately to the north of the site suggested that these may have obscured earlier archaeological remains of late prehistoric to early medieval date. Little ground disturbance had occured within the study area as it had been laid to pasture since the medieval period with cultivation occurring only recently. The report recommended further archaeological investigation in the form of a geophysical survey and/or trial excavation. [Au(adp)] |
