| Abstract: |
A desk-based assessment undertaken concluded that there was a high potential for Palaeolithic archaeology on the site. A number of palaeoliths had been recovered in the Shirehampton area and there was the potential for underlying gravel terrace and Head deposits that this material was often associated with. The potential of surviving archaeological remains was assessed to be relatively high due to the lack of development on the site, which was likely to have been pasture land until the 20th century and had more recently been used for allotments. The northern end of the site was occupied by prefabs after World War II, although the site was now a largely overgrown open field. [A(abr)] |
