Abstract: |
In total 119 trenches were excavated covering the area of proposed development. A large number of linear features (gullies and ditches) and a small number of pits were investigated, producing a considerable amount of Late Iron Age and Roman (mostly early Roman) pottery. Virtually all of the features correlated with the results of previous geophysical survey. Two pits appeared to be of Neolithic (or perhaps Early Bronze Age) date, based on struck flint finds. Apart from the odd isolated find, no other periods appear to be represented. Two fairly large enclosures seem to be present, and both of these areas can be considered to have high archaeological potential. Large parts of the site, however, revealed no features and have markedly lower archaeological potential, if any. |
