Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of nine trial trenches, was undertaken. No archaeological deposits or features were identified during the evaluation and there was no evidence of substantial modern disturbance or truncation of the subsoils or natural matrix. A number of irregular clay and silt filled hollows and channels were interpreted as rivulets and other erosion features. Two partial horizons of relict turf were identified, but they contained modern china sherds indicating that they were recently buried surfaces. There was no evidence for the continuation of the Neolithic/Late Bronze Age settlement from the north although the small number of residual struck flints and pottery sherds primarily dated from the Bronze Age and confirmed that the development area was peripheral to that occupation.
