Abstract: |
Previous archaeological work suggested that the site had been a mixture of arable/parkland since the medieval period. Earthworks including a low mound and a northwest-southeast aligned linear ditch were located, plotted and a hachure survey was produced. Four trial trenches were targeted on possible geophysical anomalies and the remainder on earthworks and apparently archaeologically 'blank' areas. The linear earthwork ditch proved to be of early-20th century date, probably a field boundary. Several shallow northeast-southwest aligned ditches and gullies were of probable post-medieval date. The only other archaeological feature recorded was a shallow undated pit. The low mound could not be adequately evaluated due to the presence of mature trees with preservation orders attached to them. However, there were no archaeological features in nearby trenches. The irregular nature of the natural sandstone bedrock here may have suggested that the mound could have been a natural feature, perhaps a rocky outcrop. [Au(abr)] |
