Abstract: |
Limited evidence of cropmarks had been identified within the study area. From the 19th century onwards, the site had largely been industrialised, first occupied by The Metropolitan Brick and Tile works and subsequently incorporated into the Ebbw Vale Iron Ore works. Historic maps indicated that prior to this the area had been agricultural. Industrial activity into the 20th century, though intensive, would appear to have had little impact upon areas A and B. A field evaluation, comprising seven trial trenches, was undertaken. Boundary ditches of Romano-British date were uncovered in the western half of the site, some of which had previously been identified as cropmarks. One of the cropmarks identified in this area proved to be a modern service trench. Evidence of alluviation was uncovered in one area. A single ditch, possibly the continuation of the cropmarks to the south, had been dug into this layer. [Au(abr)] |
