Abstract: |
(NT 6870 7551 and NT 6871 7558) Two small trenches were excavated during works to relocate an information board. Both trenches only contained evidence of natural soil processes with no apparent archaeological activity. The soil profile reflects well drained pasture with no obvious plough soil, which presumably only represents the present, most recent 'maintenance-only' regime. However, the pits and slots associated with the various configurations of halls and boundaries are relatively close to the present ground surface. Consequently any exposed soil, from turf downwards, should be regarded as sensitive, with some features only surviving at shallow levels, the bulk having been ploughed out. The difficulty in recognising these features is also compounded by the compacted and homogenous natures of potential fills and the natural. |
