Abstract: |
Limited desk-based study and an evaluation were carried out at the proposed site of a housing development. Romano-British finds had been recovered at an adjacent site and elsewhere in the vicinity, and Iron Age artefacts had also been found nearby. A former field boundary across the proposal site survived as a shallow gully, whilst a marked break of slope could be equated with a former field boundary marking the edge of an apparent hollow way marked on Tithe maps. Two ditches which appeared to represent the boundaries of the trackway were observed during the evaluation. Two Romano-British ditches, and post-medieval pitting and gullying thought to have been related to the adjacent Marsh Farm, were also recorded. Artefacts found included Romano-British, medieval and 19th-20th century pottery, a medieval or early post-medieval bronze shoe buckle and a small number of flint flakes. It was concluded that, although the identified features were of interest with regard to the landscape history of the area, none could be considered as being of major archaeological importance.
