Abstract: |
The present evaluation comprised geophysical survey and trial excavation. Evaluation identified significant archaeological remains. For the Prehistoric to Saxon periods, a limited range of artefacts were recovered but were not sufficient to indicate occupation during these periods. A system of ditches was located presumably representing a field system and a number of spring type deposits were also located dating to the Saxo-Norman. The limited quantity of occupational debris from these reflected the location of the site outside of the main village during this period. The village boundary appeared to have survived as an earthwork within the site. No medieval features were identified, although the presence of pottery may have suggested the manuring of fields outside of the village. Evaluation had demonstrated that, with the exception of the western perimeter, archaeological remains survived within the development area. The preservation of both archaeological features and artefacts was poor. [Au(abr)] |
