Abstract: |
Archaeological Watching brief of topsoil stripping in advance of construction of a yard associated with a builder's merchants. The watching brief did not lead to the discovery of any major archaeological features. There was no evidence for the southward continuation of the old land surface as recorded previously recorded in the haul road (at SS 21966 10557) during the earlier archaeological watching brief (Thorpe 2015b). It is, however, possible that the old land surface may survive under the 5m wide unexcavated strip of ground running adjacent to the southern side of the haul road on which was located the site office, and a stone store. It is certain though that it did not exist south of the field boundary (Fig 3) that runs west to east across the site marked by ditch [5]. The absence of the old land surface may be due to medieval and post-medieval farming activities in this area having removed this layer. The few flints recovered though indicate that there was activity during the prehistoric (Neolithic to Bronze Age) within this locale. It is therefore very possible that further evidence for prehistoric activity lies elsewhere within this field. It is therefore recommended that additional archaeological recording takes place as the site expands. |
