Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation was undertaken following the methodology that was detailed in the Written Scheme of Investigation (PCA 2022), which was approved by the archaeological advisor to the LPA in advance of the commencement of the fieldwork. The evaluation comprised of the excavation of 15 trenches, measuring 30m x 1.8m. The trenches were set out to test anomalies identified as a result of the geophysical survey. The evaluation was carried out between the 3rd and 13th of October 2022. The evaluation identified archaeological resources in the southern part of the Site which suggest the presence of a late Neolithic henge and a possible undated field system. The henge survives as a substantial ring ditch and the truncated remains of a possible internal bank. The possible field system survives as shallow linear features in a rectangular layout. The presence of a henge is likely to be of regional significance, the possible field system is not considered significant. These archaeological resources are likely to be severely negatively impacted by the proposed development. |
