Abstract: |
An evaluation trench on the site of a proposed new bungalow revealed a small number of archaeological features cut into what appeared to be an old subsoil deposit. The latter contained a fairly large number of pieces of struck flint. Above the subsoil layer was a possible buried topsoil sealed by a number of deposits probably representing dumped soil and the further accumulation of soil beneath modern garden topsoil. Two sherds of Romano-British pottery were found in a ditch. A single sherd of probable early Saxon pottery and a tiny flint scraper came from another feature. Quantities of struck flint were recovered from several contexts and the buried subsoil. Dumps of material and evidence for disturbance of post-medieval date were seen in the upper part of the trench.
