Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted in advance of a proposed development. Six trial trenches revealed the following features: an undated gully and large pit (possibly prehistoric) and a Roman road surface with associated ditch. Finds included: Late Mesolithic to Early Neolithic worked flint, Bronze Age pottery, and Roman pottery. Despite service trenches and recent disturbance to the site, the area was in a good state of preservation due to silt build up covering the archaeology. [AIP] |
