Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation at the proposed Asfordby Wind Farm Site (SK 721 210, centre) was undertaken between the 23rd June and 1st July 2011. Previous geophysical survey had highlighted the potential for archaeological features to be present within the proposed application area. Positive results were recorded in five of the fifteen excavated trenches. The results suggest a concentration settlement activity dating to the Late Iron Age and Early Roman periods on top of a ridge overlooking the valley. This is likely to represent the continuation of settlement activity previously identified to the east of the site near to the deserted village of Welby. |
