Abstract: |
Programme of archaeological trial trenching prior to development. During this evaluation, two linear features were recorded cutting the natural. The first was a 1m wide ditch containing one piece of roman pottery. The lack of finds and its naturally silted fill would suggest that this may form part of a larger enclosure or field boundary away from the occupation area. The second feature was a 0.4m wide linear gully, which contained no finds. The proximity to the roman ditch to the west and a similar fill would suggest a potential connection; possibly forming a drainage gully into the larger ditch at a time when the area was particularly wet. |
