Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation was undertaken over seven days between the 5th and 11th October 2013. The evaluation involved the excavation of 3 trenches, to investigate a probable Bronze Age barrow and an undated bank and ditch. The ditch was shown to have two associated banks but a date was not determined and the Barrow mound was shown to be largely constructed of redeposited local sand, overlying a central stone cairn with possible outer kerb and ditch. An assemblage of sixteen Mesolithic and early Neolithic flints were recovered from the excavated barrow and subsoil deposits, indicating activity in the area before the barrow was constructed. Two small, heavily abraded sherds of prehistoric pottery as well as Roman and Modern glass, Medieval/ post-Medieval pottery and an undated lump of ironworking Slag were recovered from the overlying subsoil |
