Abstract: |
An archaeological field evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken at land west of Foston Hall, Uttoxeter Road, Scropton, Derbyshire (SK 183 315) by University of Leicester Archaeological Services between the 16th and 24th February 2008. Four trenches were located in order to confirm known cropmarks within the application area as well as to investigate anomalies highlighted by previous geophysical survey. The evaluation confirmed the location of two single and one double ring ditch. A probable cremation burial was found centrally placed within one of the single ring ditches. These features probably all relate to Bronze Age mortuary activities situated on the edge of the flood plain of the River Dove. Also a number of other linear features, possibly relating to later settlement boundaries were also recorded. |
