Abstract: |
Archaeological monitoring and excavation was carried out during the period November 2012 to January 2013 during topsoil stripping for a northward extension to Bulls Lodge Quarry. A relatively low density scatter of small prehistoric pits was identified across the western half of the site. This is a similar result to that of the previously stripped areas in this vicinity of the quarry and, given the absence of associated enclosure systems and structures, can only be evidence of general later prehistoric land-use activity. The majority of the recorded remains were of post-medieval or modern date, largely comprising enclosure and drainage systems dating from the late 16th through to the 18th century. Of particular interest were boundary ditches and pits at the eastern end of the site which contained significant amounts of material of a domestic nature and of a fairly consistent 17th/18th century date. Further drainage and boundary features of relatively modern date, and general disturbance relating to the sites use as a WW2 airfield, were also identified. |
