| Abstract: |
A small range of archaeological features and artefacts were recovered. These have tentatively been assigned to the following chronological periods, although it must be stressed that the dating evidence is poor. Neolithic and early Bronze Age: activity of this period is hinted at by the presence of two flint flakes, residual finds within a later waterpit. Late Bronze Age/early Iron Age: the northern group of features has tentatively been assigned to this period. Evidence includes a boundary comprising three ditch lengths, two adjacent waterpits and a few small pits. Late Iron Age/early Roman: the southern group of features has tentatively been assigned to this period. Evidence comprises a single boundary ditch, two adjacent waterpits and a small number of small pits. The small number of features and tiny quantity of domestic debris recovered suggests that the evidence in all periods represents activity on the periphery of settlements located outside the development area. |
