| Abstract: |
The evaluation revealed a broad scatter of features throughout the area of investigation. These comprised mostly of ditches and gullies relating to Roman, medieval and post-medieval land division, but features representing low level prehistoric activity were also present. A large pit, possibly a waterhole, produced a small quantity of Bronze Age pottery and worked flint, and this material included a redeposited Mesolithic microlith. Two sherds of Bronze Age pottery were also recovered from two of the ditches though both of them may have been redeposited. The most significant deposits that were discovered comprised a cluster of six pits containing human cremation burials in the SE corner of the area of investigation, and although the date of the burials was uncertain, the inclusion of a worked flint suggested that the features were prehistoric in date.
