Abstract: |
The investigation comprised the machine excavation of seven trenches (a total of 392m2 in area) with each trench being 1.6m wide and 35m in length. Aside from a dump of modern material (501) noted at the southern end of Trench 5, a consistent deposit sequence of topsoil overlying natural was encountered throughout the remaining evaluation trenches. No discernible archaeological features or deposits were present in the trenches. The only features present relate to a series of probable geological features or those having an arboreal origin.
The results of the evaluation, taken in conjunction with the results of the previous geophysical surveys, indicate that there has been little archaeological activity within the application area. The heavily abraded Bronze Age pottery is likely to have been redeposited, although there is little indication of its original provenance. |
