Abstract: |
Program of archaeological works to characterise and clear archaeological resource ahead of a possible development. Seventeen trenches were excavated across the site. A number of probable storage pits were identified, and a sample of them excavated. Whilst the pottery recovered from the features was of later Iron Age or Roman date, the proximity of a probable prehistoric enclosure some 200m to the west would suggest the former date. The investigation also revealed several undated ditches. One of these is likely to relate to medieval or later land divisions; although predates at least the mid-19th century. The other ditches are likely to be older; possibly contemporary with the storage pits. An undated but probably early prehistoric possible hearth was also excavated. This lay in isolation from the other archaeological features identified. |
