Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. There were well documented Iron Age settlements within close proximity of the proposed development. The excavation of Trench 3 uncovered a substantial Iron Age enclosure ditch which contained a large quantity of pottery fragments. There was also evidence for a build up of colluvium, which initially masked the ditch across the development area. Over one half of the proposed development site was unavailable for evaluation because construction and landscaping had already taken place prior to archaeological involvement. [Au(adp)] |
