Abstract: |
Sixteen trial trenches were excavated to assess the archaeological potential of the 5.7ha site, prior to its development as a housing estate. Of particular interest was the potential for the identification of any later prehistoric and early Roman remains. Both magnetometric techniques and evaluation trenching were employed, and a survey of aerial photographic archives undertaken. No such remains were noted, with the possible exception of an undated shallow ditch which terminated in the west of the site. Many elements of post-medieval activity were identified however, including quarrying, drainage, ridge and furrow ploughing, and ponds. Also, many large, broad, linear features filled with tip waste were located in the southern field but their specific function was not ascertained. [Au(abr)] |
