Abstract: |
The shovel pit evaluation comprised 200 pits excavated on a grid at 10m intervals. The results suggest that there is a low potential for the presence of Mesolithic to Neolithic flint and chert working within the site; only two worked artefacts of flint and chert were recovered with the large majority of chert found being unworked. This indicates that the artefact scatters identified across Waterswallows Lane do not extend into the current site. No artefactual material of later prehistoric, Roman or medieval date was recovered, again suggesting the potential for buried archaeology associated with these periods is low. The majority of artefacts recovered were of post-medieval to modern date, and were of low archaeological significance. On the basis of the evaluation, the archaeological potential for the site is considered to be negligible. |
