Abstract: |
A field-walking survey of two fields totalling 14ha was undertaken ahead of mineral extraction. Few prehistoric or medieval finds were recovered, and none of Romano-British or early medieval date were found. Concentrations of slag and ironstone, often in association with burnt flint, were suggestive of processing activity on the site in addition to the extraction of raw materials. The presence of glass-working slag may have represented evidence of activity, but was not conclusive. Quantities of post-medieval and modern material had been introduced to the site with manuring or dumping. [Au(abr)] |
