Abstract: |
A intermittent watching brief was carried out during removal of topsoil in advance of quarrying. In the eastern area a former field boundary was recorded as well as evidence for ridge and furrow. In the western area a C19th brick structure was noted, land drains and further evidence for ridge and furrow. A small amount of finds were recovered - 1 piece of modern tile, 4 post-medieval/modern pottery sherds, 1 abraded C12th/C13th pottery sherd, 1 abraded piece of Roman pottery and a Mesolithic flint core. The pottery was probably deposited via manuring. No significant archaeological finds or features were recorded. |
