Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation undertaken at 37 West End Road in order to determine the archaeological implications of proposed development at the site. Late-Saxon occupation and medieval settlement were identified during the ivestigation. Late-Saxon activity was sparse and consisted of a large pit containing pottery and animal bone. Medieval settlement was characterised by ridge and furrow cultivation recorded at the north of the site running south to meet an east-west aligned headland. To the south of the headland a medieval ditch and possible pit were identified along with a ditch and sub-circular feature that probably date to the same period. The same headland was identified c. 250m to the west of the site, demarcating arable land from medieval properties fronting onto West End Road. It is suggested that a similar morphology of settlement may ocur at the development site. |
