Abstract:
This current study has aimed to review and update where appropriate the available historic, cartographic and HER evidence, and combine this with collation of the results of the previous surveys and investigations both within and around the study area. This has enabled a more comprehensive overview of the potential archaeological character of the site to be explored. There is high potential for the presence of prehistoric (Late Bronze Age) and Roman features within the study area. Four main zones of activity have been identified by the previous work, mostly comprising features associated with agriculture and in particular stock management. These are largely concentrated within the south and western parts of the study area, although features (many of them undated) were generally scattered across the site. urvival of features is generally good from both main periods of activity although modern ploughing has resulted in some truncation. No earthworks are present within the study area. Potential for the survival of palaoenvironmental remains is likely to be moderate; at least one waterlogged deposit was identified. Relatively small quantities of finds mostly comprising pottery, flint, animal bone and a small number of post-medieval metal finds was recovered during the evaluation. The absence of significant assemblages within the study area may reflect its more agricultural basis and peripheral location in relation to the presumed focus of contemporary settlement identified by geophysical survey and aerial photography to the north-west of the study area, south of Brookfield Farm Cottages.
