Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of an extension to a burial ground. A Palaeolithic handaxe had been found nearby, whilst traces of Bronze Age and Roman cultivation had been noted. The route of a Roman road and Roman and Saxon burials had also been recorded. The remains of a medieval village lay to the north. During the evaluation, several ditches dating from the 11th-12th century and from earlier medieval times were revealed, and pottery of similar dates was recovered. Pits and 19th-20th century pottery were found. It was concluded that the ditches represented former field or enclosure boundaries. [AIP] |
