Abstract: |
Seventeen small open area excavations were undertaken at the site of Marr Windfarm in mitigation (preservation by record) for the proposed windfarm development. These areas were all excavated within the proposed development corridor to further investigate features (ditches and gullies) identified during the evaluation phase and interpreted as field divisions and trackways. The excavations have added information about the nature and form of the features and most significantly also provided dating evidence that was absent from the evaluation phase. Dating of the pottery suggests that there may have been two phases of field division on the site with an earlier (early Iron Age) phase and later Romano-British phase. Field boundaries from the two phases are on slightly differing alignments. No convincing evidence for settlement activity was identified in any of the excavation areas. |
