Abstract: |
An archaeological trench evaluation, metal detector survey and subsequent strip and map was carried out in advance of development. The surrounding area contains a number of prhistoric sites, medieval field systems, and a Second World War US army camp. A previous geophysical survey identified two small isolated curving or rectilinear anomalies in the north-east part of the site. The evaluation comprised the machine excavation of 4 trenches with a combined length of 120m. No archaeological features were exposed in three trenches. In trench 4 two 'zig-zag'-type linear features, identified as Second World War practice trenches were exposed. The area around this area was subsequently stripped, revealing three groups of practice trenches and a further 15 smaller practice foxholes. No metal finds of this period were recovered, although an early 19th-century livery button was found. |
