Abstract: |
A fieldwalking evaluation was undertaken at a site where an undated curvilinear cropmark had previously been recorded. A concentration of struck flints which indicated general Neolithic or Bronze Age activity was identified, and a concentration of burnt flints covering several hectares was noted. Two large adjacent groups of Romano-British material may have been connected with the cropmark. Concentrations of medieval material were recorded, and post-medieval and modern pottery and tile were widespread over the site. A virtual lack of tile within one field suggested that it had been either pasture or, more probably, woodland at the time when farmyard manure had been spread in the post-medieval period. An almost complete absence of medieval material within another field indicated an area of possible medieval enclosed woodland. [Au(adp)] |
