Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of three trial trenches, was undertaken in advance of the construction of 6 semi-detached houses. Within two trenches to the north of the existing buildings were a number of stakeholes and possible post holes cut into the natural layers of sand and clay. These were interpreted as being of prehistoric date, since they were overlain by a putative prehistoric plough soil, containing burnt flint. The presence of the plough soil indicated a horizontal truncation horizon, which may have truncated a large proportion of the earlier features. All three trenches contained a possible Anglo-Saxon plough soil that had truncated most of the prehistoric plough soil. It contained Saxon pottery as well as large quantities of burnt flint as well as struck flint, prehistoric and Roman pottery. The Anglo-Saxon plough soil was in turn overlain by 18th and 19th century ground raising deposits. [Au(abr)] |
