Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed development site. Archaeological sites and remains of prehistoric or Romano-British date had been recorded in the vicinity, and cropmarks showing the route of a Roman road and an adjacent settlement enclosure had been recorded in close proximity to the proposal site. During the evaluation, the excavation of a previously unrecorded cropmark, noted on arrival at the site, revealed a double ditch. Although undated, this was thought to have delineated a prehistoric or Roman enclosure, on the basis of its sub-rectangular shape. The corner of a second double-ditched rectangular enclosure was also tentatively identified. Several small undated pits, gullies and ditches were revealed, and a ditch containing Roman or later pottery was recorded. Some of the undated ditches ran parallel to and close to existing hedges, and thus may have constituted earlier, perhaps medieval or post-medieval, lines of the field boundaries. Modern services were present at the site, indicated by cropmarks and by the results of earlier geophysical survey. [Au(adp)] |
