Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out at this site on 27-28 March 2018. The weather was cold and wet, and 22 trenches were opened representing 5% of the available area. The topsoil over the whole proposed development area was very shallow and post-medieval agriculture had greatly affected the compact clay natural subsoil beneath. The foundation for a former stone boundary dyke was identified in Trenches 5 and 6, and stone and ceramic field drains were numerous throughout the S half of the site. No archaeological finds or features were identified, and it is therefore recommended that no further archaeological work is required during the proposed development. |
