Abstract: |
A total of ten evaluation trenches, each 1.6 m wide were opened across the proposed area of development at Drayton Road, Milton. Three linear ditches were discovered towards the west of the site and were all filled by a similar grey clayey fill. One ditch was undated and the other was identified as Victorian or later. These two ditches may have been continuous with each other although the alignment in plan appeared slightly off. A third ditch contained three pieces of Roman pottery, and this was also the only pottery identified across the entire area of excavation. All other finds were topsoil and subsoil finds from the west of the site and dated broadly as Post-medieval. A small irregular shaped undated pit was also identified as well as several modern features. The modern features were related to the recent use of the site as allotments. No burials were encountered on the site despite discovery of burials in the area. The linear cropmark which had been shown to cross the application area was not encountered in any of the evaluation trenches. |
