Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Persimmon Homes and Bloor Homes to undertake archaeological mitigation works, comprising a watching brief and strip, map and excavation within areas associated with the construction of a proposed playing field complex. The evaluation was intended to assess the archaeological potential of an area proposed for cricket and football pitches and associated pavilion and car-park. The evaluation comprised of eleven trenches, and the results suggest the presence of a previously unidentified focus of late prehistoric activity which, although possibly associated with the nearby Iron Age Southmill Hill settlement, is clearly distinct. |
