Abstract: |
A walkover was carried out on 2 February 2017 on the areas of the site which had already been topsoil stripped prior to the WSI being written. A 5% archaeological evaluation was then carried out from 15-16th February 2017. Eighteen trenches were excavated using a tracked machine with a 2m ditching bucket. The subsoil was rusty brown sand and gravel and the topsoil is generally 0.2-0.3m deep heavy grey clayey loam. There were plough scars in the natural subsoil of Trenches 1-6 and Trenches 13-18 and at the west and east ends of Trenches 7-12. The centre of Trenches 7-12 was up to 1m deep where a palaeochannel ran N-S through the site. No archaeological features were recorded and no finds except one fragment of unworked beach flint recovered from the surface of the field next to Trench 16. |
