Abstract: |
An archaeological desktop study was undertaken prior to the determination of a planning application.\nThe results of the study suggested that the archaeological potential of the site was high. A number of cropmarks had been identified in the vicinity, which suggested the existence of an Early Neolithic causewayed enclosure and a Bronze Age barrow cemetery to the northeast. A barrow, a prehistoric-tradition enclosure & house and medieval boundary features around High Farm, to the north-west; and a barrow to the west were also located. There had been no previous excavations in this area, but fieldwalking and chance finds attested to activity in the Lower Palaeolithic, Later Mesolithic, Neolithic, Bronze Age, medieval and post-medieval periods. This material was largely comprised of lithic artefacts and pottery. Further lithic artefacts and sherds of medieval and post-medieval pottery had been recovered from the surface of the development area during the course of a site inspection. [Au(abr)] |
