Abstract: |
The archaeological potential of an area proposed for clay extraction and landfill was tested by an evaluation involving a brief desk-based assessment followed by trial trenching. No features other than field boundaries were identified within the proposal area by the desk-top study, although a Late Bronze Age settlement, an Iron Age settlement and a number of Roman sites had been identified in the surrounding area. An Anglo-Saxon cemetery had lain 1.5km to the north-east, whilst medieval villages had lain to the north-east and to the south-east. During the evaluation, two field drains were recorded, but no further features of archaeological significance were revealed. Two worked flint tools and a very small quantity of tile of possible Roman date were recovered from the ploughsoil. It was concluded that further fieldwork in advance of quarrying of the site might not be justified. [Au(adp)] |
