Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Bluebird Land and Planning Ltd on behalf of their client ahead of an application for planning permission to develop the site for residential purposes. The evaluation was undertaken to confirm the presence or absence of the Bichamditch in this location. Two trial trenches were positioned on the conjectural line of the Bichamditch (Devil's Dyke), a large, linear earthwork of Iron Age or Anglo-Saxon origin. An upstanding earthwork bank that lies on the eastern side of the proposed development site adjacent to Chalk Lane is likely to represent a woodland bank rather than Bichamditch or Devils Dyke. Although the results of this evaluation did not identify remains of the Bichamditch, north-south aligned linear features of an unknown date were identified in both trenches. |
