Abstract: |
Deposits attesting to prehistoric, Roman and modern activity were encountered on the site. At the western end of the site, trenching revealed that deposits of alluvium were present up to a depth of 1.8m. Within the upper parts of these deposits a Mesolithic flint scraper was found and a sherd of Roman pottery. Neither were located in a securely stratified context and both may have been residual material brought onto the site by riverine processes. Deposits dating prior to the late 19th century were not observed elsewhere on site. However, 19th and early 20th century activity was well attested on the site. [Au(abr)] |
