Abstract: |
An An evaluation undertaken to determine the archaeological implications of a proposed solar farm development. The site lies in an area of archaeological interest with Iron Age and Romano-British settlements, probably representing farmsteads, within the vicinity. Fieldwalking and a cropmark has identified one of these in the northeastern corner of the site itself, although no trenching occured here as it lies outside of the proposed development. The evaluation identified an area of interest near the centre of the site which may represent a small enclosure/boundary and possible limited settlement, either in isolation or perhaps connected with, or ancillary to, the settlemt at the northeastern corner of the site. An annular stone loomweight from the possible enclosure ditch is of particular interest due to its novel form and may have significance with regards to typology. |
