Abstract:
An archaeological watching brief and targeted evaluation were carried out prior to redevelopment of the site for residential purposes. The watching brief showed that the excavation of foundation trenches had a significant but localised impact on underlying deposits, whereas excavation for fuel tanks to the north had a widespread and severe impact on earlier layers. There was also deep truncation towards the north-west of the site. Archaeological remains were recorded in four of the evaluation trenches. The earliest feature was a small gully in Trench 5 located towards the centre of the site, which produced 11th-century pottery. This was truncated by two later medieval pits and further medieval features were present in Trench 7 a short distance to the south and Trench 3 towards the eastern edge of the site. Evidence of post-medieval activity, probably associated with the farm that previously occupied the site, was recorded in Trenches 5 and 4. Although no features pre-dating the Late Saxon/early medieval period were identified, quantities of struck flint were recovered from later features, particularly in Trench 5, suggesting that there had been some prehistoric activity either on the site or in the very near vicinity.
