Abstract: |
Sixteen trial trenches were opened by machine within the 148ha development area. The trench layout was targeted on features identified by the woodland earthworks survey. The trial trenching showed that many of the woodland earthworks were poorly preserved. The best-preserved boundary, to the west of Breakheart Hill Plantation, was dated to the early medieval period, and it is suggested that it may be contemporary with earthworks previously associated with a post-medieval pond complex further to the south. Significantly, investigation of the earthworks around Fox Covert produced three sherds of residual late Bronze Age/early Iron Age pottery. No traces of Watch House or Warren House were located by the trenching. |
