Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation prior to a residential development discovered a Late Bronze Age linear feature and a pit of uncertain prehistoric date. A shallow depression contained post-medieval tile. Four other features were undated. Three of the six trenches were devoid of features. An open area excavation (30m x 30m) was then conducted focused on the trench containing the Late Bronze Age linear feature. A large number of pits and linear features were discovered. Around a quarter of the features contained prehistoric pottery, a few sherds of which could be dated somewhat tentatively to the Late Bronze Age period. Several features contained single sherds of Roman or medieval pottery; these were mostly located towards the eastern part of the excavation area. Most of the features were ill-defined, shallow and uneven in shape. Taken together they formed no discernible pattern, although it was possible that some may have represented the truncated remains of gullies/ditches and post built structures. The development site was clearly within an area of Late Bronze Age activity, the nature of which was indeterminate from the features discovered. [Au(abr)] |
