Abstract: |
The evaluation comprised the digging of 15 trenches across the two areas of the proposed development. The western area (8 trenches) revealed no deposits of archaeological interest. However, the southern part of the eastern area (7 trenches) revealed occupation deposits of Iron Age date, including iron slag evidence for smelting or smithing. It is considered that this zone has high archaeological potential. A single Mesolithic narrow flake was also recovered from the site. |
