Abstract: |
A trial trench archaeological evaluation took place on land north of Stow Park Road, on the eastern periphery of Marton. The results will inform an outline planning application for residential development (application ref: 133907). Marton lies on the Roman Tillbridge Lane, represented by Stow Park Road, which approaches the historic ford of the River Trent at Littleborough. Cropmarks around Marton are interpreted as evidence of a Roman fort (c.1km southwest of the site) and possible settlement and field systems, with such features being identified in the southeast corner of the site itself. Geophysical survey at the site had identified possible archaeological activity towards its northeast corner, interpreted as possible historic quarrying. Eight of the ten trial trenches investigated were deemed to be archaeologically sterile, whilst two features exposed in Trenches 3 and 10 appear to reflect modern agricultural activity - a remnant furrow and a disused field boundary, which can be seen on 19th century OS mapping. |
