Abstract: |
Five trenches were excavated as an evaluation in advance of the proposed construction of 16 dwellings. These revealed two inter-cutting, undated gullies close to the south east boundary of the site (Trench 3) which may have been of Late Iron Age or Roman date given the proximity of the trench to the settlement site of this date excavated on the adjacent Whitehall Brick and Tile Works. This was, however, uncertain as no dateable material was recovered from the gullies. The other four trenches revealed a single linear feature (Trench 2) interpreted as a modern fence or cultivation trench. The spread of features appeared to indicate that either the periphery of the Late Iron Age/Roman settlement site at Whitehall Brick and Tile Works just extended into the south west margin of the development site, or that it did not extend this far to the north west. If it did extend to the Sheerlands Road site, then the density of features was likely to be low. [Au(abr)] |
