Abstract: |
An evaluation involving trial trenching and a metal detector survey was carried out at the proposed site of a housing development. At an adjacent site, a pit containing Bronze Age pottery, pits containing burnt material, two post-medieval ditches and a small amount of prehistoric flint artefacts had been recorded. A late Norman church lay to the north of the proposal site, and further finds had been made in the surrounding area, including a hoard of Roman coins. During the evaluation, an undated ditch, a worked prehistoric flint and a small sherd of prehistoric pottery were recorded. It was concluded that these artefacts may have been displaced from deposits to the north, as a result of previous agricultural activity. [AIP] |
