Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation identified 8 linear features and 8 discrete features. Of the linear features, two ditches and a furrow were identified as archaeological, while the remaining 5 features were natural, probably having formed through geological processes. One of the ditches examined contained animal bone which has been given a date range from 43 AD to 1900 AD; a more specific date could be established by radiocarbon analysis if required. The other ditch was overlain by peat that formed around 2500 years ago, thus dating it to the Iron Age or earlier. The furrow points to previous agricultural usage of the site. Five of the discrete features were located in the eastern area of the site bordering Crease Drove; these were related to farming activity dating from the twentieth century. The remaining discrete features were natural, probably having been formed by rooting or animal activity. Other than the aforementioned animal bone, no artefactual evidence was recovered from the site. |
