Abstract: |
Five evaluation trenches were excavated in advance of residential development, revealing limited evidence for archaeological activity. The remains consisted of a series of probable former drainage and boundary features of post-medieval to modern date, in addition to layers of peat and alluvium in the NW part of the site, which reflect the flooding of the area prior to drainage. Two-large silt filled drainage features were exposed, although it is not clear what phase of drainage these relate to. Excessive flooding limited detailed investigation of some features, although it was still possible to demonstrate that the development area had little archaeological potential. |
