Abstract: |
Following geophysical survey of the c.20.5ha development site, archaeological evaluation comprised the investigation of 76 trenches, some of which were targeted on geophysical anomalies interpreted to be indicative of natural geology or modern land use relating to the former Rougham Airfield. Twenty-one trenches contained archaeological remains, comprising ditches and pits, with a slight concentration in the north-east of the site. A small number of pits have been generally dated to the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age period. The majority of recorded features are dated to the first half of the 20th century, many of which correspond with the geophysical anomalies. Several of the ditches, most likely functioning as a drainage system, correlate with a former airfield road and runway. Other, similarly dated features are most likely related to the former airfield. |
