Abstract: |
PCAS Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Oxalis Planning ltd to conduct a thirty trench evaluation in advance of a large urban development on land to the east and west of Nottingham Road known as Fairham Pastures. This investigation, Phase 1, covers approximately 31 acres and is situated in the northwest corner of the site. The proposed development site lies within a cropmark landscape currently interpreted as representation of Iron Age and Romano-British occupation, part of the wider landscape surrounding the scheduled villa and enclosed settlement at Glebe Farm, c.2km south of this evaluation. Occasional flints dating to the Neolithic and Bronze Age have also been recovered from within and around the Site, and there was considered some potential for further remains to survive within the site area. It is likely that the majority of the site area was utilised as agricultural land from at least the medieval period. Previous archaeological investigations have previously occurred on the proposed development site, most recently by AOC Archaeology in 2015 (Fig. 2) During the cause of the evaluation, a low level of archaeological features was revealed, pertaining to agricultural use and comprised 5 small ditches/gullies and 2 small, shallow pits. These features were undated apart from ditch [903] which contained post medieval brick fragments. |
