Abstract: |
Plans for a new housing estate resulted in an archaeological evaluation, as the proposed site was crossed by the projected line of a Roman road. The nearby area also included prehistoric henges and medieval remains. The evidence showed the site to have always been a green field site which had consisted of strip fields. Topographical survey identified a small number of relict features in the area, some of which were tested within the 50 trenches excavated. Most of the area contained no archaeologically significant remains. However the presence of the Roman road was located and its preservation was found to vary along the lengths excavated. [AIP] |
