Abstract: |
This report describes the results of an archaeological evaluation carried out between the 10th and 20th September 2018 by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd, following a program of Historic Building Recording conducted by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd (Garwood 2018).The work was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of Redrow Homes Ltd. The evaluation comprised 530m of trial trenching. These comprised seven 50m x 2m trenches in Area A (trenches 1-7) and six 30m x 2m trenches in Area C (trenches 8-13). The evaluation identified of a total of seven ditches, ten pits, one posthole and three natural tree-throws. Of these two ditches and four pits contained Middle Iron Age pottery, all located within Area A. Along with posthole [238] in trench 5 which contained burnt daub, this indicates the potential presence of an Iron Age settlement in Area A. In Area C (Trenches 8 to 13) the ground had been extensively truncated by activity relating to nearby quarrying activities. Large quarry pits backfilled with 20th century landfill were identified in this area. Area C has low archaeological potential. |
