Abstract: |
The evaluation consisted of the excavation of 39 no. 30m trial trenches at 1.8m wide (a total of 1,170 linear metres) The results of the current evaluation broadly accord with the findings of the pre-determination evaluation of the site. The evaluation identified the remains of a post-medieval field system, consisting of an arrangement of former boundary ditches and hedgerows. Part of this field system is visible on the 1886 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map of the area. A post-medieval pit, probably resulting from small-scale gravel or sand extraction, was excavated next to Moore's Lane. Three undated linear features, tentatively recorded as ditches, may be natural features. Several clearly natural features were also excavated. These natural features were either tree throws or variations in the geological substrate. There was no indication from the features excavated or from an inspection of the spoil heaps that there was ever any significant settlement activity on the site. |
