Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of the site in advance of proposed commercial development. It consisted of an aerial photograph analysis, field artefact collection and a geophysical survey. Three areas of settlement type features, including enclosures, ditches and pits, were located to date. One was dated by association with artefacts within the ploughsoil to the Roman period. Another appeared to continue the trend identified to the north-east of the study area and on typological grounds would be of Iron Age or Roman in date. Less concentrated cropmarks and artefact concentration indicated activity of prehistoric and indeterminate date elsewhere in the study area. [Au(adp)] |
