| Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a retail food store, car parking and a petrol filling station. Two Bronze Age axes had been found in the vicinity of the site, and Roman coins had been found close to a nearby church. The town of Wellington itself was a planned medieval town, whilst the farm buildings at Cade's Farm dated from the 17th century. During the evaluation, a pit and a ditch containing large quantities of Romano-British pottery were revealed. Two further ditches were also recorded, one of which contained Late Iron Age pottery. A shallow depression, probably formed during a period of occupation rather than by later ploughing, contained pottery which was mostly of Romano-British date, although Iron Age and medieval sherds were also present. Some post-medieval disturbance was observed within one of the four evaluation trenches, and three 19th-20th century sherds were noted. [AIP] |
