Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation recorded a limited sequence of events predominantly associated with field drainage and past agricultural land use. The earliest features identified consisted of several shallow furrows on a southwest-northeast alignment; it is likely that the shallowness of these can be attributed to destruction by more recent agricultural practices. In addition, multiple land drains relating to agricultural water management were identified on the site, many of which appear to have fallen within furrows; this would make sense as these furrows would have formed the lowest points in the field. All land drains except one followed the same alignment as the furrows however one, in Trench 3, was on a different alignment perhaps due to an area with particularly bad drainage. |
