It was commissioned by Ecus Ltd on behalf of ChaseCommercial Ltd, in advance of a proposed industrial development. Planning permission has beengranted subject to a programme of archaeological works.Fifteen trenches were opened across the proposed development area in a broad grid array. Theserevealed furrows running across the site on a broadly north-south alignment: the remains of medievaland post-medieval ridge and furrow cultivation which correlated well with Lidar and satellite imagery.These demonstrate the layout of a former field system, prior to establishment of the woodland knownas Porter’s Plantation on the site (now reduced). Several other isolated and undated features wereidentified, including some small gullies and discrete features, but the previous land use only appearsto have been characterised by agricultural activity. |
