Abstract: |
An evaluation of this site was conducted by John Moore Heritage Services on 13-14th August 2009. Six trenches, totalling 159 metres in length, were excavated to the highest archaeological horizon either Roman or medieval. A series of alluvial deposits were encountered; the earliest was thought to cover a Roman land surface that displayed evidence for the local salt making industry. Numerous shallow gullies were seen as well as areas of burning and deep pits also containing burnt material. Deposits of briquetage were noted within this layer. Possible medieval ditches were encountered at a higher level within the alluvial sequence and may represent agricultural activity. |
