Abstract: |
The evaluation was undertaken between the 4th and 6th July 2022, with six trenches (T1-T6) measuring 30m by 1.8m excavated across the proposed development area. The trenches were located to target all the areas of the proposed development, and to sample the full range geophysical anomalies detected. The archaeological evaluation revealed possible evidence of land clearance; a series of possible soil-filled features were detected by the geophysical survey and upon excavation were interpreted as tree boles. A series of linear features were also identified which were found to be plough furrows and land drains. The results of the trial trench evaluation suggests that the site has not been intensively utilised in the past other than for agriculture, before which it may have been located within Inglewood Forest. |
