Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken prior to the determination of an application for gravel extraction across the site. A total of 35 linear and 87 test pits were excavated. Although the majority of trenches and test pits were blank, twenty nine archaeological features were excavated and artefacts including worked flints, pottery, tile and animal bone were recovered. Four main areas of significant archaeological remains were identified. Although four archaeological foci were identified the evidence was uniformly of a dispersed and diffuse character. They demonstrated the potential for the preservation of sites otherwise undetectable by aerial or geophysical survey. [AIP] |
